Solar modules with up to 800 W output to meet domestic content demand
Key Takeaways
- NuVision has announced plans to establish an HJT solar cell and module production fab in the US
- The 2.5 GW factory will manufacture bifacial solar modules with up to 800 W output
- These will cater to utility-scale, commercial, as well as residential solar segments
A US-owned and operated solar cell and module manufacturer NuVision Solar has unveiled plans to establish a heterojunction (HJT) solar cell and module factory in the US, with 2.5 GW annual nameplate manufacturing capacity.
This factory will roll out products to meet the demand in the utility, large-scale commercial, and residential segments. It will manufacture bifacial modules with up to 800 W output with zero busbar (0BB) interconnection technology. The company will offer a 35-year performance and a 20-year product warranty.
NuVision said its modules will meet domestic content requirements, to enable its customers to qualify for an additional 10% bonus under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
Module production is scheduled to begin in Q4 2025 at an undisclosed location in the US, said the company that also announced its formation and entry into the North American solar market with this announcement. The company’s executive team has more than 2 decades of solar cell and module manufacturing experience at GW-scale, it added.
The company’s CTO Tom Mueller previously worked with interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar technology specialist Maxeon Solar Technologies as director in its Research Development and Deployment (RD&D) department and held a similar position at SunPower Corporation. His experience also includes his role as the director of the silicon solar cells and modules at the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore.
NuVision’s COO Paul Roraff previously worked with Canada-headquartered solar PV manufacturer Heliene.
“The synergy between our heterojunction cells and our state-of-the-art module designs ensures that we produce panels capable of outperforming traditional technologies,” said Roraff. “With enhanced durability, bifacial capabilities, and a strong focus on quality, our modules are built to maintain their high efficiency and reliability for decades, meeting the stringent requirements of the U.S. market.”
Most new US production facilities announced are betting on TOPCon, even though some prefer to stick to PERC with the ongoing patent challenges related to the former technology. HJT scores with its high efficiency promise, something that European HJT specialist Meyer Burger is bringing to the country.
