Boviet Solar Technology Co., Ltd. has commissioned a third photovoltaic module production line at its Greenville, North Carolina facility. This expansion increases the site’s annual capacity from 2 GW to 3 GW, strengthening its position in the U.S. photovoltaic manufacturing sector. The facility assembles the company’s Gamma Series monofacial and Vega Series bifacial modules.

Industrial capacity aligned with market demand

Launched in April 2025, the first phase of the Greenville site was designed to supply solar modules tailored to local market requirements. The addition of the third line addresses growing demand for domestically manufactured products, amid a rise in tenders that include national content criteria.

At the same time, Boviet Solar announced the completion of exterior construction for its upcoming photovoltaic cell factory, also located in Greenville. Scheduled to begin production in 2026, this second facility will have a 3 GW capacity, matching the output of the module plant and enabling fully integrated manufacturing on a single site.

More than $400mn invested in the local ecosystem

The overall project represents an investment of more than $400mn and is expected to create over 1,300 skilled jobs once both phases are fully operational. Boviet Solar will then have an integrated industrial platform capable of producing photovoltaic modules in the United States from cell manufacturing to final assembly.

The company states that this industrial initiative is part of its long-term strategy to establish a strong foothold in the U.S. market. The objective is to secure supply chains for its clients while leveraging the opportunities of a steadily growing domestic market.

An industrial lever to strengthen local presence

Through this development, Boviet Solar aims to meet demand in the North American market while reducing its reliance on imports. The Greenville site becomes a strategic hub for the company’s international operations. This capacity increase also allows the company to position itself against competitors benefiting from local manufacturing incentives in the United States.
