Boundless Senior Research Analyst Andreas van Giezen was featured in a press release by Origami Solar in June 2022. He discusses the discoveries made by Boundless in our analysis. For more on the solar frame industry and our analysis, check out our Webinar with Origami CEO Gregg Patterson.

"Boundless assessed the environmental impacts associated with producing solar module frames with recycled steel using precision roll forming processes. We found Origami’s design and fabrication technology is able to achieve a significant GHG reduction over the entire supply chain in comparison with aluminum module frames produced and shipped from South East Asia and China,” said Andreas Van Giezen, senior research analyst at Boundless Impact Research & Analytics.

“We’re immensely proud that Origami Solar’s unique steel solar module frame can help reduce GHG emissions so directly and significantly,” said Gregg Patterson, CEO of Origami Solar. “Solar is the cleanest, cheapest source of electricity available, which is good news for the energy transition. But If the U.S. does not rapidly seek energy independence backed by secure domestic supply chains, it will find itself overly reliant on imported materials. This report points to American steel as the answer to a renewable energy future. And since steel is abundantly produced on every continent, this solution is a global one. Steel makes clean energy cleaner, and it is essential to the path to domestic energy security.”
