This development aligns with growing demand for solar energy in the U.S., where the industry faces challenges in securing reliable supply chains and boosting local production. The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) notes that since the Inflation Reduction Act was passed in 2022, 84 new solar and storage manufacturing facilities have been established, with 55 more under construction. Module manufacturing has seen significant growth, rising from 8 GW before federal tax credits to 52.3 GW by March 2025, a more than 600% increase, according to SEIA.
Before establishing its Texas facility, Waaree Energies had already supported the U.S. market by supplying over 4 GW of modules from its manufacturing base in India. The company’s CEO, Amit Paithankar, emphasized the strategic importance of the expansion, stating: “By doubling our module capacity to 3.2 GW in Texas, we’re reaffirming a belief that goes beyond business – it’s about trust, resilience and shared ambition.” He added: “This expansion is a signal – we’re here, we’re growing, and we’re deeply invested in powering America’s energy future.”
In 2023, Waaree announced plans to integrate a solar cell manufacturing unit at the Texas site, though further details on this addition are yet to be confirmed. In India, the company operates facilities with a combined capacity of 13.3 GW for photovoltaic modules, including 1.3 GW from its subsidiary Indosolar, and 1.4 GW for PERC solar cells.
The expansion in Brookshire reflects Waaree’s commitment to strengthening the U.S. solar supply chain and supporting the transition to renewable energy. By increasing its manufacturing capacity, the company aims to contribute to the region’s economic growth and meet the rising need for clean energy solutions. This move positions Waaree as a key player in the global solar industry, fostering innovation and sustainability.
