First Solar宣布将在美国南卡罗来纳州Gaffney投资 3.3亿美元 建设一座新的光伏组件制造工厂。 这座新工厂占地超过 100万平方英尺,将生产该公司最新的 Series 7 薄膜太阳能组件,预计在 2026年下半年 投入商业运营。 该项目预计为当地新增 约600个就业岗位,并将把First Solar在美国的年度总产能提升至 17.7GW,新增产能 3.7GW。
此次投资是公司强化美国制造布局的战略一部分。目前,First Solar已在俄亥俄州的 Perrysburg 和 Lake Township 运营两家工厂。此次南卡项目是在此前 11亿美元投资计划 之后推出的,该计划包括在路易斯安那州新建工厂及扩建俄亥俄州产线,均预计于 2025年投产。
First Solar采用的薄膜技术与传统硅基组件不同,公司称其产品碳足迹比中国制造的晶硅组件 低30%。
该扩张正值美国工业政策调整之际。《通胀削减法案》(IRA)为国内太阳能零部件生产提供制造税收抵免。今年通过的《一项伟大而美丽的法案》(One Big Beautiful Bill Act)则引入“关注外国实体”(FEOC)限制,禁止使用中国企业或受中资控股企业产品的项目申领税收优惠。
First Solar首席执行官 Mark Widmar 表示:“这项立法及政府的贸易政策推动了对美国产能的需求,我们必须迅速而灵活地响应。新工厂将帮助我们在符合法案严格要求的同时,满足客户时间与技术需求。”
此前,美国另一家制造商 Qcells 因海关组件延误,不得不在乔治亚州工厂暂时裁员。
