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.
NuVision intends to manufacture bifacial modules using heterojunction technology (HJT).
Online documents list the principal address for NuVision as the former SolarTech Universal panel assembly factory in Riviera Beach, Florida. The site was also once leased by Heliene.
Few other details have been released. 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 enables us to achieve exceptional cell efficiencies and consistently high performance across a wide range of conditions,” Mueller said.
NuVision will be the brand of solar panels, while a sister company called Hybrid Cell Technology will make the HJT cells in the same Florida facility.
No timeline was provided on production startup.
