Luminate is pleased to share that Derek Sanchez, Senior Vice President, will be speaking tomorrow at Solar Manufacturing USA 2026, taking place September 22–23, 2026, in Austin, Texas.
Derek will join a panel of Independent Engineers to discuss the role IEs play in evaluating and qualifying new domestic U.S. PV operations. The discussion will explore how technical audits, factory acceptance testing, supply chain assessments, and other due diligence efforts can help verify product quality, identify potential risks, and support project bankability.
Derek’s Panel | September 23 | 12:40–1:00 PM
As domestic solar manufacturing continues to expand across the United States, independent technical evaluation plays an important role in helping developers, investors, lenders, and other stakeholders understand manufacturing capabilities and product quality.
If you’re attending Solar Manufacturing USA 2026, we hope you’ll join Derek and his fellow panelists tomorrow for this important industry discussion on the evolving U.S. solar manufacturing landscape.
