No, we can't. Because the U.S gets the majority of its goods from China [1]. So we have to get China to install all those panels.

china is installing all those panels. china's newly installed solar capacity in just 2023 will be twice the entire total solar capacity of the united states. and they operate more offshore wind turbines than the rest of the world combined and are also installing new wind capacity than anyone else by far
