Solar manufacturing innovator CubicPV has plans to establish 10 gigawatts (GW) of conventional mono wafer capacity in the United States, filling a marked void in the silicon solar value chain and capitalizing on its deep expertise in silicon wafer production.
The planned facility, the first of this scale to be announced in the United States, is expected to create 1,500 new direct jobs and meet the anticipated surge in demand for U.S.-produced wafers. Today, there is no high-volume silicon wafer production in the United States, and Cubic is the only U.S. company with a core competency in wafer manufacturing.
“The IRA represents a titanic shift in the global solar landscape, and the United States is poised to become the world’s most competitive location to manufacture solar. We’re excited to have a role in the U.S. manufacturing renaissance while accelerating our business plan and supporting the development of our next generation tandem module technology,” said F
