Solar manufacturer Boviet Solar has completed exterior construction on its 3GW photovoltaic (PV) cell manufacturing facility in Greenville, Pitt County, North Carolina.

The Greenville plant, whose construction began in January 2025 as part of Phase II of Boviet Solar’s North American expansion strategy, will produce N-Type PV cells to meet growing demand for locally manufactured solar products.

Once fully operational, the facility will deliver 3GW of annual capacity, up from the 2GW initially announced, complementing Boviet’s adjacent 2GW module factory, which started mass production in Q1 2025. The PV cell plant is scheduled to begin mass production in H2 2026, creating over 900 local jobs and supplying high-performance cells to both U.S. and international markets.

“This plant is central to Boviet Solar’s U.S. growth strategy,” said Marco Marquez, general manager of the Greenville facility.

“Completing the exterior walls and roof of our PV cell factory is an important milestone that keeps us firmly on track toward our operational goals.”

In April 2025, Boviet Solar inaugurated its first U.S. module assembly plant in Greenville, with 2GW of annual capacity. The US$294 million facility uses advanced PERC and N-Type cells to manufacture Gamma Series monofacial and Vega Series bifacial modules for residential, commercial & industrial (C&I), and utility-scale markets.

Construction of the Phase I module plant began in October 2024, less than a year after Boviet announced its U.S. manufacturing plans. Phase II, the 2GW solar cell facility, will cover 600,000 square feet and involve an additional US$100 million investment, reinforcing Boviet Solar’s commitment to expanding its North American footprint.
