The new facility will be completed in two phases with a total investment of $294 million and will create approximately 908 local jobs.
The first phase is scheduled to begin construction in Q3 2024 and be operational in early H1 2025 to produce 2GW of solar modules annually for residential, commercial, industrial and utility-scale applications across the US. The second phase will then commence in Q4 2024 to produce 2GW of solar cells per year.
Sienna Cen, President of Boviet Solar USA, said: “The completed facilities will produce 2GW of solar modules and 2GW of solar cells annually, significantly contributing to the US solar supply chain and supporting the nation’s transition to clean energy. This project not only underscores North Carolina’s role as a leader in renewable energy but also creates significant economic opportunities for the local community.”
The construction of solar cell or module factories in the US over the next few months is critical as the US government is conducting Antidumping and Countervailing Duties (AD/CVD) investigations into crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from four Asian countries including Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam).
