According to Maxeon's official website, on August 10, Maxeon, a subsidiary of TCL Central, headquartered in Singapore, announced that. It decided to use Albuquerque, New Mexico, as its first photovoltaic manufacturing expansion site in the United States .
Maxeon plans to invest $ 1 billion to build a world-class 3GW solar cell and module factory in Albuquerque. The plant will be used to design and produce the latest generation of TOPCon photovoltaic silicon cell technology and the company's proprietary shingled cell Performance Line solar modules . In order to meet the rapidly growing demand for photovoltaic modules in the United States.
The Maxeon plant is expected to be the first large-scale photovoltaic cell and module manufacturing plant in New Mexico, with a planned capacity roughly twice the size of the largest silicon solar manufacturing plant currently operating in the United States. Maxeon said it expects construction to begin in the first quarter of 2024 and production to begin in 2025. When completed, the new plant will create up to 1,800 jobs, including highly skilled manufacturing and engineering jobs, to produce millions of solar panels a year for the U.S. market. The new plant is planned to serve the utility-scale power plant market and distributed generation rooftop applications.
It is reported that as of May 22 this year, TCL Central holds about 27% of Maxeon and Total Energy holds about 18%, respectively, the first and second largest shareholders.
