Boviet Solar Technology says the renovation of its new manufacturing facility in Greenville, N.C., is on schedule. 

The first phase of the project began construction in Q3 of this year, focusing on the renovation of an existing facility. This plant is set to produce Gamma Series monofacial and Vega Series bifacial PV modules designed for applications across the U.S. Mass production is expected to commence next year.

Construction firm ARCO/Murray is overseeing critical infrastructure upgrades and the installation of production equipment.

The second phase involves the construction of a new facility dedicated to producing an additional 2 GW of solar cell technology. ARCO/Murray is set to integrate essential utilities and systems.

“The completed facilities will produce 2 GW of solar modules and 2 GW of solar cells annually, significantly contributing to the U.S. solar supply chain and supporting the nation’s transition to clean energy,” says Sienna Cen, president of Boviet Solar USA.

“This project not only underscores North Carolina’s role as a leader in renewable energy but also creates significant economic opportunities for the local community.”

Boviet Solar manufactures monocrystalline PV cells and Gamma Series monofacial and Vega Series bifacial PV modules, as well as develops solar projects. As of January, the company says its annual PV cell and PV module manufacturing capacity is 3 GW.

Socialism and “Free Stuff”

Published

Social democracies are nations in which the tax base provides everyone with healthcare and education, and where the richest and most powerful people are not free to ruin the environment.

I run into someone from one of these counties a couple of times a month, and I like to ask why their people are consistently at the top of the World Happiness Rankings. The normal response is always some variant of the following:

It’s hard to be happy living in a society that is indifferent to the suffering of others.  It’s part of the very nature of human beings to care about one another.

Something else I notice about these places is that very few people are religious.  Sweden, e.g., is about 80% atheist.

That means no childish tribalism, no ridiculous dogmas, no worries about eternal damnation, etc.

Celebrating American Ignorance

There are so many tragic aspects to life in today’s United States that it’s hard to name them all.

For my money, one of the saddest elements to the American zeitgeist is its glorification of ignorance.

Up until recently, if you wanted to know what science believes about anthropology, climate change, or particle physics, you asked a scientist in the relevant discipline, who not only has a college degree, but normally a ton of education on top of that.

Now, you ask a congressional Republican, preferably, an evangelical Christian.
