Suniva Announces New Facility to Dramatically Increase Solar Cell Manufacturing Capacity in America
LCG, April 15, 2026--Suniva announced yesterday that it has entered agreements to bring a state-of-the-art 4.5 GW solar cell manufacturing facility to Laurens, South Carolina. The new facility, combined with Suniva’s existing facility at its headquarters in metro Atlanta, will bring the company’s total annual domestic solar cell manufacturing capacity to over 5.5 GW.
The 620,000 square-foot facility represents an investment of over $350 million in advanced manufacturing and clean energy and is scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2027. Suniva is the largest and oldest U.S. manufacturer of high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells.
"With the addition of 564 jobs in advanced manufacturing and energy, Suniva’s decision to put down roots in the Palmetto State will create new opportunities for our workforce. This investment strengthens our commitment to innovative energy solutions, and we are proud to welcome Suniva to Laurens County," said the Governor of South Carolina.
The President and COO of Suniva stated, "At this moment in history, the question of where our energy comes from – and who controls the supply chain that delivers it – is among the most consequential questions America faces. Suniva’s answer is straightforward: we build it here. With this expansion, Suniva contributes over 5.5GW of American-made solar cell capacity annually to a grid that increasingly depends on it. That’s not just good business. That’s a national imperative."
Suniva's CEO said, "Suniva has long championed U.S. leadership in solar manufacturing. Solar energy is the fastest and most economical way to grow our nation’s energy supply. Our expansion means that domestically produced renewable energy will do more than ever to secure America’s energy future. We are proud to partner with the state of South Carolina on this vital initiative."
Suniva states that it was founded in 2007 out of U.S. Department of Energy-funded research at Georgia Tech’s University Center for Excellence in Photovoltaics. Suniva’s leadership, technology, workforce, and manufacturing are all rooted in America. By producing solar cells on American soil, with American workers, under American ownership, Suniva plans to ensure that the clean energy powering American homes and businesses is not subject to foreign supply chain risk or geopolitical disruption.
