Suniva, Inc., the premier U.S. manufacturer of high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells, and Heliene, Inc., a leading provider of North American-made solar PV modules, announced a landmark three-year strategic sourcing contract. This collaboration marks a pivotal step towards producing the first domestically eligible crystalline silicon PV modules in the United States.
Enhancing Domestic Solar Manufacturing
Under the terms of the agreement, Heliene will integrate Suniva’s U.S.-manufactured solar cells into its solar modules, scheduled for market availability by mid-2024. This initiative responds to the growing demand for domestically produced solar components, driven by solar project developers aiming to qualify for the 10% Domestic Content Bonus Investment Tax Credit.
Strengthening U.S. Solar Supply Chain
This strategic partnership between Heliene and Suniva aims to bolster domestic manufacturing capacity for crystalline PV modules. By utilizing U.S.-made solar cells, the alliance fills a crucial gap in the U.S. solar supply chain, promoting resilience and reliability in the face of increasing demand for homegrown products.
Commitment to Industry Growth
Martin Pochtaruk, CEO of Heliene, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, emphasizing its role in enhancing U.S. competitiveness in the global solar market. Cristiano Amoruso, CEO of Suniva, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the alignment with national initiatives to revitalize domestic manufacturing.
