Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. announced this week that it has chosen Albuquerque, NM, as the location for the company’s first U.S. manufacturing expansion. The new world-class, 3-gigawatt facility will be designed to produce latest-generation TOPCon PV-silicon cell technology and Maxeon’s proprietary shingled-cell Performance Line solar modules to meet rapidly growing demand for domestically produced solar panels.
The company plans to begin construction in the first quarter of 2024, with factory ramp-up to commence in 2025. The complex will be built on a 160-acre site and will include solar cell fabrication, panel assembly, a warehouse, a research and development lab, and administrative offices.
