Located in Morgan Hill, the 150,000-square-foot module assembly plant is expected to begin commercial shipments for its first heterojunction (HJT) line in the fourth quarter of 2026. Once fully ramped up, the module assembly plant will have an annual nameplate capacity of 1GW, while the company has already secured 1.2GW of module orders. As the California module assembly plant becomes operational and additional lines are developed, the US module manufacturer expects to scale capacity in step with its order pipeline. DYCM’s selection of HJT for its module assembly plant mirrors other US manufacturers that are building HJT module assembly plants (subscription required), with more recently, Canadian Solar starting HJT solar cell production at its facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Once fully ramped up and operational, the facility will have a 6 GW annual nameplate capacity of HJT solar cells.
