New solar panel company NuVision Solar announced plans to start a 2.5 GW solar cell and panel manufacturing facility in the United States. The company will create 500 jobs at the operation, which is located in West Palm Beach, Florida.
NuVision plans to produce bifacial modules using heterojunction technology (HJT).
Few other details have been released. Online documents list NuVision’s main address as the former SolarTech Universal panel assembly plant in Riviera Beach, Florida. The site was once also rented by Heliene. Company executives claim 58 years of combined experience in HJT manufacturing. NuVision CTO Tom Mueller previously worked for SunPower/Maxeon, and NuVision COO Paul Roraff previously held positions at SolarTech and Heliene.
“Heterojunction technology allows us to achieve exceptional cell efficiencies and consistently high performance under a wide range of conditions,” said Mueller.
NuVision will be the solar panel brand, while a sister company called Hybrid Cell Technology will make the HJT cells in the same Florida factory.
No timeline was given for cell production, but the modules should be assembled at the site in the fourth quarter of 2025.
