NuVision Solar, a US-based startup manufacturer, has revealed plans to produce heterojunction (HJT) solar cells and modules. A new US solar cell manufacturing company has announced its incorporation and entry into the US solar market. NuVision Solar said it will open a facility with 2.5 GW of annual production capacity, manufacturing both solar cells and finished modules. The factory will produce HJT solar cells. The company said it plans to manufacture bifacial solar modules with power of up to 800 W. It added that its products will have a 35-year performance guarantee and a 20-year product warranty. Designed with power, reliability and affordability in mind, NuVision modules will meet domestic content requirements, making end users eligible for an additional 10% rebate as part of the Inflation Reduction Act , the company said in a press release. NuVision Solar says it expects to begin initial module production in the fourth quarter of 2025. The facility is expected to create 500 direct jobs. Heterojunction cell technology has been around for a long time, but only in recent years have PV suppliers begun to consider it as an option for low-cost manufacturing. “We now see HJT technology on the roadmaps of all major cell and module manufacturers, with several already moving towards mass production,” says Mark Hutchins, managing director of pv magazine . NuVision Solar claims its busbarless interconnect technology increases connection points by 15 times and reduces microcracks and hot spots, a common problem with conventional solar cells. “Heterojunction technology allows us to achieve exceptional cell efficiency and consistently high performance over a wide range of conditions,” said Tom Mueller, chief technology officer at NuVision Solar. NuVision Solar currently offers four lines of PV modules, from 740W to 810W, with glass-on-glass and glass backsheet options. |
