Waaree Energies’ subsidiary, Waaree Solar Americas, has commenced commercial production at two new solar module manufacturing lines with a combined annual capacity of 1.6 GW at its facility in Brookshire, Texas, U.S.
Each manufacturing line will have an annual capacity of 800 MW.
The Brookshire facility’s aggregate annual installed solar module manufacturing capacity has now increased to 3.2 GW.
Waaree Energies announced its plans for this expansion in August 2026, with an expected investment of $37 million. The revamp would involve replacing the Arizona facility’s existing module manufacturing lines with new high-efficiency module production lines.
Last year, Waaree Solar Americas announced its decision to buy 53,68,551 Series B shares of polysilicon manufacturer United Solar Holding for $30 million. United Solar, a Cayman Islands-based company, produces high-purity polysilicon, a vital component for the solar industry, and operates an advanced manufacturing facility in Oman.
In the second quarter of the financial year 2027, Waaree Energies reported a revenue from operations of ₹75.18 billion (~$783.13 million), a 23.9% year-over-year increase from ₹60.66 billion (~$631.88 million).
Its solar module sales increased 27.4% YoY to 3 GW from 2.4 GW. Module production totaled 3 GW across its Indian and U.S. operations, while cell production increased to 1.1 GW from 600 MW in the corresponding quarter last year.
The value of crystalline silicon solar module imports into the U.S. fell 78% between the first half (1H) of 2024 and 1H 2026, as trade enforcement measures and domestic manufacturing incentives reshaped the country’s solar supply chain, according to a white paper by Crux. Module import value fell from $7.6 billion in 1H 2024 to $1.7 billion in 1H1 2026. Southeast Asian countries covered by U.S. trade measures accounted for 86% of c-Si module import customs value in 1H 2024, but their share dropped to less than 2% two years later.
