Boviet Solar, a Vietnamese solar company, announced the official commencement of operations at its first PV module factory in Greenville, North Carolina, US. The factory, with a total investment of $294 million, utilizes N-type solar cell technology to produce high-performance Gamma Series™ single-sided PV modules and Vega Series™ bifacial PV modules.
The factory is constructed in two phases. The first phase currently has an annual capacity of 2GW, while the second phase plans to build a solar cell factory of approximately 600,000 square feet, expected to be operational in H2 2026.
Boviet Solar is a subsidiary of Vietnam's PV Group. In Q4 2024, it announced a global strategic expansion, revealing plans to establish two new production sites in Southeast Asia and Europe, each with an annual capacity of 5GW. These sites are expected to commence operations in 2026, with locations in either Vietnam or Thailand, and Spain or Poland. By 2025, Boviet Solar's global annual capacity had reached 10GW, and this expansion plan will increase its global annual capacity to 15GW.

[SMM PV News] Puerto Rico Rooftop Solar Hits 20% of Total Power Capacity

Recent 'EIA' data shows rooftop solar now makes up 20% of Puerto Rico's power capacity (1,456 MW), surpassing natural gas as the second-largest source. Between 2016 and 2025, distributed solar accounted for 81% of all new capacity. To combat frequent grid outages, residents have deployed over 171,000 battery systems (2,864 MWh), with many joining grid operator LUMA's virtual power plant ('VPP') program. Despite this progress, new legislation extended the territory's sole coal plant to 2032 and removed interim renewable targets, though the 100% goal for 2050 remains.

[SMM PV News] US Solar Faces Labor Shortage Ahead of 'OBBBA' Deadline

The US solar industry faces a 53,000-worker shortfall as developers rush to meet the July 2026 construction deadline under the 'OBBBA'. Projections indicate 355,000 workers are needed to hit the 60-70 GW installation targets, yet 86% of employers report hiring difficulties. The labor crunch is compounded by a mandate requiring 15% of labor hours to come from apprentices to secure tax credits. To adapt, developers are building internal training pipelines, targeting veterans, and utilizing digital tools to maximize efficiency.
