Key Highlights:
- Suniva, Heliene, and Corning partner to build a fully US-made solar supply chain.
- Corning provides US-manufactured wafers and polysilicon for the modules.
- New solar modules feature up to 66% domestically sourced components.
- Developers can benefit from the ITC domestic content bonus with these modules.
In a major boost for US solar manufacturing, Suniva, Heliene, and Corning have joined forces to create a fully domestic solar module supply chain. This collaboration aims to strengthen American energy independence and support local job creation.

Suniva, a US-based solar cell developer, and Heliene, a solar module manufacturer, have teamed up with Corning, a leader in glass and materials science. Together, they are producing solar modules using polysilicon, wafers, and cells entirely sourced from the US.
Corning is supplying high-purity wafers and polysilicon through its majority-owned Hemlock Semiconductor (HSC). Arabinda Ghosh, Corning’s VP and GM of Solar Technologies, emphasized that their expertise will help secure the US solar supply chain.
The modules will have up to 66% domestic content, giving solar developers access to the investment tax credit (ITC) domestic content bonus. Suniva President Matt Card highlighted that this partnership offers the only solar cells in the market that maximize ITC benefits.
Heliene CEO Martin Pochtaruk called this initiative a key milestone for the US solar industry, supporting local manufacturing, economic growth, and clean energy expansion.
