Solar 76 is a small U.S.-based solar manufacturer running a manufacturing-heavy org (7 of 11–50 headcount in production roles) with active lean six sigma and continuous improvement programs. Their project list—5S implementation, DFM/DFA reviews, IPQC procedures, manufacturability optimization—reveals a company in operational scaling mode, moving beyond basic assembly toward process discipline. Pain points cluster around efficiency, compliance drift, and supply-chain reliability, typical of manufacturers ramping domestic production in a regulated sector.
