Wedoany.com Report-Aug. 29, Boviet Solar has finished the exterior construction of its 3 GW solar cell manufacturing facility in Greenville, North Carolina, marking a significant step in its U.S. expansion. The $294 million investment establishes the company’s first North American production hub, focusing on its Gamma Series monofacial and Vega Series bifacial modules, which utilize advanced n-type solar cell technology.

The facility’s cell production capacity was expanded from an initially planned 2 GW to 3 GW. Construction began in early 2025, complementing Boviet Solar’s adjacent 2 GW solar module assembly plant, which started mass production in the first quarter of 2025. Together, these facilities are expected to create approximately 908 jobs in the local community, boosting economic growth in the region.

The Greenville plant addresses a critical gap in the U.S. solar supply chain, where cell production lags behind module assembly. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), as of August 2025, only 2 GW of cell production is operational in the U.S., compared to 57.5 GW of module assembly capacity. SEIA also reported 19.3 GW of cell manufacturing under construction and 34.1 GW announced, highlighting the importance of Boviet’s contribution.

Sienna Cen, president of Boviet Solar USA, stated: “The Greenville manufacturing hub is central to Boviet Solar’s US growth strategy. By investing in both PV cell and module production in North Carolina, we are strengthening supply chain resilience, delivering reliable Made-in-USA solar products, and creating lasting economic impact for the region.”

Founded in 2013 in Vietnam, Boviet Solar has risen to prominence, ranking among the top 10 global PV module manufacturers in the Sinovoltaics ranking, which evaluates 65 panel suppliers worldwide. The company anticipates starting mass production at the Greenville solar cell facility in the second half of 2026, further solidifying its role in enhancing U.S. solar manufacturing capabilities.

The project underscores Boviet Solar’s commitment to supporting renewable energy development and local economies while addressing the growing demand for domestically produced solar components. By expanding cell production capacity, the company aims to improve supply chain reliability and contribute to the U.S.’s clean energy goals.
