NuVision Solar plans HJT cell, solar module production in U.S. in 2025

Solar module manufacturing in the United States will get another shot in the arm later in 2025 from new entrant NuVision Solar. This American-owned operation based in West Palm Beach Florida will be producing both solar cells (heterojunction) and modules, which is crucial for earning the domestic content tax credit adder.

NuVision Solar says its team has been manufacturing heterojunction (HJT) cells and modules for over two decades. This new facility will have an annual nameplate manufacturing capacity of 2.5 GW, and will produce solar modules for utility, large-scale commercial, and residential solar projects, according to the company. NuVision Solar anticipates beginning module production in the fourth quarter of 2025.

“The synergy between our heterojunction cells and our state-of-the-art module designs ensures that we produce panels capable of outperforming traditional technologies,” states Paul Roraff, NuVision Solar’s COO. “With enhanced durability, bifacial capabilities, and a strong focus on quality, our modules are built to maintain their high efficiency and reliability for decades, meeting the stringent requirements of the U.S. market.”

The datasheets for NuVision Solar modules show impressive power output ratings, including bifacial modules up to 800 W.

NuVision module assembly includes “zero busbar interconnection technology,” means 15X more connection points and a reduction in microcracking and hotspot effects.

Why HJT cells?

HJT cells have a lower temperature coefficient, which usually translates to a higher efficiency and power output over the lifetime of the solar panel due to a lower degradation rate.

“Heterojunction technology enables us to achieve exceptional cell efficiencies and consistently high performance across a wide range of conditions,” said Tom Mueller, CTO at NuVision Solar. “By integrating these advanced cells into our modules, we are improving overall system performance, delivering more energy over the lifetime of the installation, and ultimately enhancing the value proposition for our customers.”

The company aims to meet rising solar energy demands and strengthen the nation’s renewable energy landscape through innovative, high-performance solar cell and module solutions.
