Marangatu and Panati-Sitiá will likely be two of Brazil's largest solar power plants and generate clean electricity equivalent to powering over 900,000 households in Brazil annually.

The White House aims to increase domestic solar manufacturing capacity to 22.5 gigawatts by 2024, or three times the manufacturing capacity when the president took office, Barron's reports.
Biden seeks to ease concerns about companies having to hold billions of dollars in reserves to pay potential tariffs.
Recently the Commerce Department made a months-long investigation into whether imports of solar panels from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam dodge tariffs on goods made in China.
