If you’re interested in solar energy, whether you’re looking into solar panels for your home or just following the industry trends, there is exciting news out of Texas that’s set to light up the solar market. As an individual who has witnessed the solar industry’s impressive evolution, I am excited to report on these developments and what they mean for the adoption and accessibility of solar.
Turkish module manufacturer, Elin Energy, known for supplying solar modules to the robust European solar market, has found a new home in Texas. A new chapter in the U.S solar industry’s narrative is abuzz with news about Elin’s 225,000-square-foot module manufacturing plant in Waller County, near Houston. Their U.S aspirations, operating under the name Siris PV USA, have turned into reality. The kick-off of their stateside production last month signals an exciting boost for solar companies provincially and nationally.
Due to Elin’s strategic partnership with critical U.S distributors, we can expect an initial annual production of 1 GW. Even more exciting is their intention to notch up production to 2 GW in just 18 months. As an influential solar company investing in U.S market, Elin already employs over 100 associates on the ground in Texas and has grand plans to scale up to an impressive 500 associates as production increases.
Taking a patented approach, Elin will initially utilize PERC technology in the U.S and anticipates a shift towards the TOPCon strategy starting in July. Catering to a diversified target market, Elin’s PERC modules are bifacial, delivering power outputs varying from 410 to 580 Watts. This ensure residential, commercial, and even utility-scale customers have access to a range of solar array for home and business.
Elin is joining a legion of other solar module manufacturers setting up shop in Texas. This list includes powerhouse names like Trina Solar, Canadian Solar and SEG Solar, each with their own impressive expansion plans. Texas has undoubtedly become a hotspot for solar companies, making it an exciting time to consider solar panels for your home.
So what makes all of this exciting? You’re likely to see an increase in access to and affordability of solar arrays for homes across the U.S. This boost in production will inevitably increase competition among solar companies, pushing the entire industry to innovate and offer more competitive pricing. This wave of production is making the solar dream more achievable than ever for U.S homeowners.
So whether you’ve been considering a solar array for home use, or you’re just keen on keeping up with the latest developments in renewable energy, it’s an exciting time in the U.S solar industry.
