Heliene has invested an additional $10 million to expand an original manufacturing and assembly line at its Mountain Iron, Minn. facility.
Minnesota Line One, first installed in 2018 at 150 MW, has doubled its capacity to 300 MW with this expansion, situated contiguous to the 500 MW line installed 12 months ago. These upgrades will improve the efficiency of the line and enable Heliene to manufacture TOPCon solar modules, says the company.
“We’re proud to be delivering on our commitment to grow our U.S.-based manufacturing capacity and create new clean energy jobs with the refurbishment of Minnesota Line One,” says Martin Pochtaruk, Heliene CEO. “Recent funding and federal incentives are helping us grow our facilities and workforce to keep up with historically high demand for domestically produced solar PV modules. We’re thankful to our clients for enabling us to grow rapidly, while maintaining the customer-first approach Heliene has become known for.”
The expansion of Minnesota Line One is the latest milestone in Heliene’s continued growth and investment into the North American solar industry. In August, Heliene and community solar provider Nexamp entered into a partnership that includes a 1.5 GW module order to support the development of national community projects.
Heliene secured $170M in debt and equity financing from OIC and 2 Shores Capital earlier this year, with existing customers also participating in the round. Heliene also announced plans to pursue a new manufacturing facility in the greater Minneapolis area in 2024.

John Eastman, One of Trump’s Attorney Henchmen in an Attempt to Overthrow the U.S. Government, Is Disbarred
In April of this year, the California Supreme Court disbarred attorney John Charles Eastman. This after the State Bar Court Review Department in July 2025 affirmed the findings of the State Bar Court Hearing Department’s March 2024 recommendation, which found Eastman culpable of 10 out of 11 charges for egregious and deceitful conduct and recommended his disbarment.
Apparently, certain bodies within the United States are still trying to maintain justice here in America.

Statement on FERC Actions Regarding Large Load Interconnection from ACORE President and CEO Ray Long
Statement on FERC Actions Regarding Large Load Interconnection from ACORE President and CEO Ray Long
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Thank you to Chairman Swett and the Commissioners of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for setting the path forward for creating greater clarity and efficiency, protecting consumers, and providing greater cost transparency for the interconnection of large loads to the grid while also recognizing the unique features of each region. The United States is experiencing historic growth in electricity demand, and FERC’s ction to ensure that every regional grid operator sets fair rules for connecting large loads represents a constructive step toward ensuring the electric grid is prepared for tomorrow’s demand.
We also appreciate the Commissioners ensuring that grid operators identify all opportunities to use advanced transmission technologies to reduce the costs to upgrade our electricity transmission system.
ACORE and our members look forward to working with FERC and other federal partners on further improvements to load and generator interconnection, additional steps on deploying advanced technologies, and delivering critical transmission expansion.

… You’ll believe that Trump is the only force keeping Americans safe–not only from Muslims, but also from feminists, proponents of abortions rights (aka murdering babies), DEI, wokeness, gays, blacks, immigrants, news journalists, the radical left, gun control, environmentalists, healthcare advocates, wind turbine-caused cancer, intellectual elitism, socialism and anti-capitalism, vaccinations, chemtrails, atheism, and satanism.
The dumber America gets the easier it is to make these arguments. Therefore, we need to fight against our colleges and universities.
