Bira Solar announced that the company has started producing a new series of silicon solar panels at its Indianapolis factory.

Mick McDaniel, Vice President and General Manager of Bila Solar, said, "This is not only crucial for Bila Solar, but also for the entire clean energy industry in the United States. Our factory in Indianapolis proves the power of wise and forward-looking policies that bring manufacturing back to the United States. We are proud to contribute to strengthening the domestic supply chain in the United States, creating high paying job opportunities, and advancing American energy independence. ”

Bila initially only intended to produce frameless and frameless silicon solar panels, but now in its 157000 square foot factory (which was converted from the original Eli Lilly building), it also produces framed designs and more commonly double glazed double-sided solar panels. The newly launched 550 watt double glass solar panel uses American batteries produced by ES Foundry and meets the conditions for domestic component incentives according to current ITC rules.

The factory is expected to create over 75 advanced manufacturing jobs this year. The factory started production last week, and Bila Solar's goal is to achieve an annual production capacity of 300 megawatts in the first phase, which will be expanded to 1 gigawatt after full completion.
