Sino-American Silicon and United Renewable Energy announced on July 22 2026 that they will invest approximately $40 million to construct a solar module manufacturing plant in the United States. The facility is planned to have an annual production capacity of 1 GW and will produce TOPCon modules, with 70‑80% of the initial output already secured by customer demand. Although the exact site within the United States was not disclosed, the project will add a gigawatt of module capacity to the domestic supply chain. The investment underscores SAS's shift toward high‑efficiency solar technologies and builds on URA's growth after its 2018 merger with Gintech and Solartech.
