Toyo Solar announced the construction of a 1.5GW HJT cell production line in Texas, US. The project is located in the Houston metropolitan area and plans to achieve integration with an existing module plant, with an investment of approximately $357 million and an expected construction period of 20 months. Upon completion, it will be eligible for the US IRA Act Section 45X Advanced Manufacturing Tax Credit (approximately $0.04/W), further boosting local PV manufacturing capacity.
