The Riviera Beach plant in Florida will become the only plant in the United States that produces heterojunction solar modules, providing efficient and long-lasting solutions for the residential and commercial solar markets

Su Sheng. Mary, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Heliene, a customer-first supplier of solar modules manufactured in North America, today announced that it will open its third North American solar module in Riviera Beach, Florida Manufacturing plant. The new plant is Heliene's second plant in the United States, increasing its manufacturing capacity by an additional 100 megawatts (MW). Heliene will start manufacturing operations in the new plant in September 2021.

Heliene is expanding its high-quality solar module product suite produced in North America. So far, the modules have been designed and manufactured in multiple configurations in Minnesota and Ontario, Canada. The Florida plant will be the only plant in the United States that produces ultra-high-efficiency heterojunction solar cell modules for residential and commercial applications. Compared with traditional high-efficiency modules, heterojunction solar cell modules provide more power per unit area, provide more units of electricity during the entire life cycle of the module, and have higher reliability-all of which are in a beautiful appearance. , Low-key package.

Martin Pochtaruk, CEO of Heliene, said: "With the start of the Florida facility, Heliene will use our industry-leading module technology and manufacturing efficiency to meet the significant forecasted demand for residential and commercial solar energy in the United States." "Heterojunction module technology has changed. The economics of solar energy provide our customers with higher production density when designing residential and commercial facilities. Providing the highest quality products through timely solutions and always available customer support is critical to our strategy to increase clean energy supply in North America. Important."

Heterojunction battery technology combines the advantages of N-type crystalline silicon with the excellent absorption and passivation characteristics of amorphous silicon. Heliene's 66-cell heterojunction 370W module uses multi-wire technology and 18 circular micro-wires to replace the traditional flat bus bars, reducing shadows by 25% by creating a light-trapping effect. N-type silicon leads to extremely low light-induced degradation (LID) and potential induced degradation (PID), ensuring that more power is provided throughout the life cycle of the module. Heterojunction modules also perform well in low light and high temperature conditions.

The 75,000-square-foot Riviera Beach facility will create more than 60 new manufacturing, maintenance, engineering and logistics jobs in the area. As a member of the Solar Energy Manufacturing Alliance (SEMA), Heliene is committed to creating high-paying manufacturing jobs in the United States and strengthening the US solar supply chain to accelerate the adoption of clean energy and achieve national decarbonization goals.

Heliene spends more than 5% of its revenue on research and development every year. Heliene's modules are produced using advanced photovoltaic materials lists to ensure durability and aesthetics. These modules undergo an independent third-party engineering evaluation every year to ensure long-term reliability and are approved for use in projects funded by major global banking institutions.

Heliene is currently accepting orders for 66-section heterojunction 370W modules.

Heliene is one of the fastest growing domestic module manufacturers in North America, serving the utility scale, commercial and residential markets. With an intralogistics team and responsive support staff, Heliene accurately provides competitively priced high-performance solar modules at the time and place customers need to accelerate the clean energy transition in North America. Founded in 2010, Heliene has been rated as a tier one module manufacturer for Bloomberg New Energy Finance and has production facilities in Canada, Minnesota and Florida.
