Vietnamese solar panel maker Boviet Solar just opened the doors to its first US factory \u2014 a huge new PV module plant in Greenville, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The company dropped $294 million into the state-of-the-art facility, which will pump out Boviet\u2019s Gamma Series monofacial and Vega Series bifacial solar panels. They\u2019re using advanced PERC and N-Type solar cell tech, which basically means these panels are built to deliver higher efficiency and better performance across residential, commercial, industrial, and utility-scale projects.<\/p>\n

The Greenville factory\u2019s first phase is now online with an annual PV module output capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW). For Phase 2, which is scheduled to come online in the second half of 2026, Boviet will invest another $100 million to add 600,000 square feet and ramp up to another 2 GW. It will make high-efficiency solar cells.<\/p>\n

Once both phases are complete, Boviet\u2019s campus will cover more than 1 million square feet of manufacturing and R&D space. It\u2019s one of the biggest clean energy manufacturing projects North Carolina has ever seen.<\/p>\n

The jobs impact is significant, too. The first phase will create 460 skilled local jobs. Phase 2 is expected to add another 908, bringing the total to over 1,300 direct jobs, plus nearly 2,000 more indirect jobs across the region. That\u2019s good news for Pitt County\u2019s economy, real estate market, and workforce training programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis facility is not just creating jobs, but creating opportunity, innovation, and a stronger foundation for eastern North Carolina,\u201d said Senator Kandie Smith. Governor Josh Stein added that Boviet Solar\u2019s move shows how North Carolina is leading the way in clean energy growth.<\/p>\n
