Avaada Modules at RE+

At RE+ 2025, Avaada Electro is presenting its range of n-type TOPCon solar cells and modules. The lineup includes G12, G12R, and M10L modules, all IEC, UL, and ISO certified. Designed for utility-scale, C&I, and rooftop applications, the products come from the Indian manufacturer’s 8.5 GW module capacity spread across Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. Avaada is located at Booth V13804.

GREW Solar’s North America-Compliant Modules

GREW Solar’s North America-Compliant Modules

India’s GREW Solar has chosen RE+ 2025 to unveil its next-gen ALL BLACK module series, built on TOPCon cell technology for residential rooftops. The company is also introducing two glass-to-glass (G2G) product lines—M10 series (up to 590W) and G12R High-Power series (up to 635W)—both engineered for North American compliance. Aimed at utility-scale, C&I applications, these TOPCon modules come with 30-year performance warranties.

Indian Players Eye US Market

Despite the challenging geopolitical backdrop between the US and India, Indian solar manufacturers are turning up in numbers at RE+ 2025. From Goldi Solar and Adani Solar to Avaada Electro, Saatvik Solar, GREW Solar, Credence Solar, Alpex Solar, and others – the wave of announcements underlines just how attractive the US market remains.

Nextracker Acquires Origami Solar

Nextracker has expanded its area of expertise with the acquisition of Origami Solar, the roll-formed steel frame manufacturer. The all-cash transaction worth $53 million represents the manufacturer’s efforts to lock in local sourcing of steel for its trackers in the wake of the US imposing heavy tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. “And with an estimated total addressable market (TAM) in excess of $750 million in the U.S. alone, we see this as a substantial new business opportunity for Nextracker,” adds Nextracker Founder and CEO Dan Shugar.

Nextracker Debuts NX PowerMerge

NX PowerMerge from Nextracker

Leading global tracker manufacturer Nextracker has unveiled its NX PowerMerge trunk connector, a new DC power connector designed to streamline eBOS (electrical balance of systems) installation. Nextracker says this connector is especially targeted at high-voltage, high-density solar arrays. It offers a robust, 2kV-ready solution for PV string-to-trunk bus connections, according to Nextracker. It also marks the first eBOS product in its portfolio since Nextracker’s acquisition of Bentek. Catch Nextracker at booth V9223.

Mission Solar expands product lineup

US manufacturer Mission Solar is presenting a new range of modules. Its 435 W n-type 108HC rooftop panel reaches 22.8% efficiency, carries 6.2% domestic content, and avoids AD/CVD tariffs while meeting US sourcing requirements, says the manufacturer. Beyond rooftops, Mission’s lineup extends to C&I and utility markets, featuring both n-type and PERC technologies. Mission Solar is at booth V8645.

High-efficiency, low-carbon modules

At RE+, Canadian Solar launched its Low Carbon (LC) modules featuring HJT cells with wafer innovations. Delivering up to 660 W and 24.4% efficiency, the modules are claimed to have a carbon footprint of 285 kg CO₂eq/kW – among the lowest globally for silicon-based modules. Proprietary tech across ingot, wafer, and cell processes drives the breakthrough. Visit booth V10031 to learn more about these modules.

Bila Solar Backs US Steel

Navigating US Solar Policy

Navigate the policy headwinds under the OBBBA with industry experts, analysts, and associations leading discussions on critical growth topics for the US solar industry: solar and storage, local supply chains, sourcing, reliability, system value, FEOC, and tax credit challenges, during latter half of the Solar—Made in the USA Summit.  

Solar Manufacturing Strategy Talk

New Strategies for Solar Manufacturing in the USA - RE+ Solar Made in the USA - Panel Discussion

Catch this power-packed session with the very executives practically shaping US solar manufacturing – Talon PV CEO Adam Tesanovich, ES Foundry CEO Alex Zhu, SEG Solar CEO Jim Wood, Suniva President and COO Matt Card, Heliene President Martin Pochtaruk, RCT Solutions CEO Prof. Dr. Peter Fath, and Hemlock Semiconductor Senior VP Commercial Phil Rausch – in conversation with TaiyangNews MD Michael Schmela and CEA Senior Policy Analyst Christian Roselund at the Solar – Made in the USA Summit.

Moving Upstream in Solar

RE+ Solar Made in USA Session 2

US solar manufacturing is expanding in modules, but moving upstream still depends on access to key equipment and materials. As US policies seek to counter the influence of China, the world’s largest solar market, how can the country push further? Experts from RCT Solutions, ISC Konstanz, LAPLACE, Solamet Electronic Material, and Mondragon Assembly will weigh in on strategies to navigate these challenges during Session 2 at the Solar – Made in the USA Summit. 

Reviving the American Solar Industry

RE+ Solar Made in USA Agenda


SEIA’s Stacy J. Ettinger and Wood Mackenzie’s Elissa Pierce will join John Smirnow of Smirnow Law and ACP’s MJ Shiao at the Solar – Made in the USA Summit. Catch the session as they explore ways to support the US solar manufacturing comeback despite tough policy challenges, in a panel discussion with TaiyangNews’ Michael Schmela and CEA’s Christian Roselund. 

US Solar Growth Under Pressure

Total US Module Supply Chain Capacity

The TaiyangNews summit, with its focus on the US solar and storage market and manufacturing, follows a turbulent time for these industries with the gradual dismantling of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in the wake of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Operating under a shadow of uncertainty, the country saw its H1 2025 solar installations dropping by over 15% YoY, according to the SEIA and Wood Mackenzie's latest report titled US Solar Market Insight Q3 2025 Report. Even as the country added 4.3 GW of new module capacity in Q2, there were no upstream additions (see US Installed 18 GW New Solar PV Capacity In H1 2025).
