Nearly 7 billion! Another photovoltaic company builds a battery factory in the United States

Recently, according to foreign media reports, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and Ebon Solar jointly announced that they will invest approximately US$942 million in New Mexico's solar energy industry. Ebon Solar plans to build an approximately 834,000 square foot solar cell manufacturing plant in the Mesa del Sol Industrial Development Zone in Albuquerque, New Mexico, creating more than 900 new jobs.

It is reported that Ebon Solar LLC (Ebon Solar) is a solar cell manufacturing company located in Delaware, USA, dedicated to innovation in the field of solar manufacturing.

It is worth mentioning that this is not the first solar photovoltaic investment plan attracted by the city of Albuquerque.

On August 10, 2023, Maxeon, a subsidiary of TCL Zhonghuan, announced that it had decided to choose Albuquerque, New Mexico, as its first photovoltaic manufacturing expansion site in the United States.

Maxeon plans to invest US$1 billion to build a world-class 3GW solar cell and module factory in Albuquerque, which will be used to design and produce the latest generation of TOPCon cells and the company's proprietary shingled photovoltaic cell modules to meet the rapidly growing demand for photovoltaic modules in the United States. According to Maxeon's original plan, the new plant is expected to start construction in the first quarter of 2024 and will start production in 2025. However, according to foreign media reports, the project has been postponed to the second half of this year.
