Boviet Solar North Carolina Plant to Begin Module Production in Early 2025

Boviet Solar Technology Co. Ltd. (the "Company" or "Boviet Solar"), a solar energy technology company specializing in manufacturing monocrystalline PV cells, Gamma Series Monofacial, and Vega Series Bifacial PV modules, is pleased to announce that the renovation of its new manufacturing facility in Greenville, Pitt County, North Carolina, is on schedule. 

Project Overview:

  • Location: Greenville, Pitt County, North Carolina
  • Total Investment: $294 million
  • Job Creation: Approximately 908 skilled local jobs
  • Production Capacity: 2.0 GW of solar modules (Phase 1) and 2.0 GW of solar cells (Phase 2)

Phase 1: Solar Module Manufacturing The first phase of the project began construction in Q3 2024, focusing on the renovation of an existing 500,000-square-foot facility. This state-of-the-art plant will utilize advanced solar cell technology to produce high-performance Gamma Series Monofacial and Vega Series Bifacial PV modules designed for residential, commercial, industrial, and utility-scale applications across the U.S. Mass production is expected to commence by early H1 2025. Construction firm ARCO/Murray is overseeing critical infrastructure upgrades and the installation of production equipment.

Phase 2: Solar Cell Manufacturing Scheduled to break ground in Q4 2024, Phase 2 will involve the construction of a new 600,000-square-foot facility dedicated to producing an additional 2.0 GW of the most advanced solar cell technology. This facility will enhance the efficiency and output of solar installations, with support from ARCO/Murray for integrating essential utilities and systems.

Sienna Cen, President of Boviet Solar USA, stated, "The completed facilities will produce 2.0 GW of solar modules and 2.0 GW of solar cells annually, significantly contributing to the U.S. 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."
