What Solarix does
Solarix LLC is a U.S.-domiciled solar module manufacturer building its first Tier 1 facility in Forest, Virginia, with operations scheduled to begin by July 2025. Founded by veterans of Meyer Burger and JinkoSolar, the company leverages Heterojunction Technology (HJT 2.0) to produce bifacial dual-glass modules under the Utility ULTRA HJT brand, achieving up to 23.18% module efficiency, up to 95% bifaciality, and maximum power output of 725W per module, framed with American-made steel and backed by a 30-year performance warranty. Solarix acquired the 423,553-square-foot former TEVA Pharmaceutical building on 56.2 acres in July 2024 for $16.5 million, with $63 million committed to fit out a fully automated 600 MW production line designed to operate at less than one-quarter of the manpower required by traditional module manufacturers.
The company's go-to-market spans four segments — residential, commercial, commercial & industrial (warehouses, manufacturing plants, data centers, agricultural and energy facilities), and utility-scale — delivered through a national distribution network of installers and direct field sales for enterprise projects. Professional installation services include custom system design, permitting, engineering, grid-tied and off-grid configurations with battery storage, and post-installation monitoring using NABCEP-certified technicians, with hardware sales as the core revenue stream. Pricing is project-based (unit pricing with multi-year contracts), with claims of up to 70% bill reduction for end customers and no publicly disclosed price tiers.
Solarix positions itself on U.S. provenance: compliance with anti-circumvention (AC/CVD) regulations, an SBA-certified Disabled Veteran-owned designation, no foreign-government subsidies, and a Phase II-planned recycling line aimed at a net-zero module lifecycle. The company plans to scale Phase 1 production to 1 GW/year and, in Phase II (2026), expand to 3 GW/year, add recycling capacity, grow headcount to roughly 200 employees, and broaden the product set to include replacement modules harvested from competitor panels.

Solarix competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- JinkoSolar: World's largest PV module manufacturer by shipment volume; the Solarix CTO previously worked at JinkoSolar as a process engineer. Comparable as a global Tier 1 module incumbent across residential, commercial, and utility.
- Trina Solar: Top-three global Tier 1 module manufacturer with a planned US factory and broad utility, C&I, and residential product portfolio. Comparable as a global incumbent targeting the same US module market.
- Hanwha Q CELLS: Global Tier 1 module manufacturer with an existing US production footprint in Dalton, Georgia, serving residential, commercial, and utility markets with TOPCon and HJT products. Direct competitor in domestic manufacturing.
- JA Solar: Top-five global Tier 1 module manufacturer offering PERC/TOPCon/HJT products across utility, commercial, and residential segments with growing US presence. Comparable as a globally scaled module incumbent.
Direct peers
- SunPower: US-based residential and commercial solar systems provider with module offerings and a national installer/dealer footprint, overlapping Solarix's residential and commercial sales channels.
- First Solar: Largest US-headquartered thin-film PV module manufacturer with utility-scale focus and multiple US gigawatt-scale facilities. Comparable as a domestic Tier 1 module maker serving utility, C&I, and large commercial customers.
