Boviet Solar Completes 3-GW Factory Exterior in North Carolina

• Boviet Solar boosts US clean energy with a new 3 GW photovoltaic cell plant in North Carolina, enhancing local growth and sustainability.

Boviet Solar Technology Co Ltd has completed the exterior construction of its photovoltaic cell manufacturing facility in Greenville, North Carolina. The plant is set to achieve an annual production capacity of 3 GW, an increase from the initially planned 2 GW. The Vietnam-based company remains on schedule to commence mass production in the second half of 2026, following the completion of the exterior walls and roofing.

This facility is part of Boviet Solar's North American manufacturing strategy, with the adjacent 2-GW module factory, opened earlier this year, marking Phase I. Together, these facilities will create a fully integrated US manufacturing hub, contributing to local community development and the clean energy sector.

How will Boviet Solar's new facility impact North Carolina's clean energy sector?

• Job Creation: The new facility is expected to create numerous jobs in the region, boosting local employment and supporting economic growth in North Carolina.
• Supply Chain Enhancement: By establishing a fully integrated manufacturing hub, Boviet Solar will strengthen the local supply chain, reducing dependency on imports and enhancing the resilience of the clean energy sector.
  
• Increased Renewable Energy Capacity: With a production capacity of 3 GW, the facility will significantly contribute to North Carolina's renewable energy capacity, supporting the state's clean energy goals.
• Technological Advancements: The facility will likely incorporate advanced manufacturing technologies, positioning North Carolina as a leader in solar technology innovation.
• Environmental Impact: By increasing the production of photovoltaic cells domestically, the facility will help reduce carbon emissions associated with transporting solar components from overseas.
• Investment Attraction: The establishment of such a large-scale facility may attract further investments in the renewable energy sector, encouraging more companies to set up operations in North Carolina.
• Community Development: The facility's presence will contribute to local community development through infrastructure improvements and increased economic activity.
• Policy Support: The project aligns with state and federal policies promoting renewable energy, potentially leading to more supportive legislation and incentives for the clean energy sector.
