PVTIME – T1 Energy, a solar manufacturer based in the United States, has concluded new offtake agreements for over 1.58GW of solar modules incorporating domestically produced cells and modules from its G2_Austin manufacturing facility, which is under construction in Texas. One contract has been finalised with Avantus, an independent power producer, for the supply of TOPCon modules from the firm’s 5GW G1_Dallas assembly plant until the end of 2028.
The modules to be delivered under these agreements will combine imported solar cells and locally produced cells from the G2_Austin facility. These latest commitments bring T1 Energy’s secured order book to over 4GW of its planned module manufacturing capacity for 2027. Construction of the G2_Austin site in Rockdale, Texas, began in December 2025. The first phase of the facility will deliver an annual cell capacity of 2.1GW, with the target date for the start of commercial operations being the first quarter of 2027. The business anticipates launching modules with domestic content above 60% in 2027, once cell production has increased.
These agreements are a core element of T1 Energy’s strategy to establish a traceable, domestic solar supply chain across the United States. Its integrated manufacturing framework is designed to support customers in managing project schedules, financing structures, and investment returns. The company’s product range is centred on TOPCon cell technology. In July 2026, T1 Energy acquired foundational TOPCon patents and related intellectual property, securing domestic oversight of key solar technology and production capability.
In August of the same year, the manufacturer published its Q2 2026 financial performance, recording net sales of USD 250.1 million. The G1_Dallas plant achieved a module output of 935MW during this period. T1 Energy reported a net loss from continuing operations of USD 36.9 million alongside adjusted EBITDA of USD 10.7 million. Dan Barcelo, the firm’s chair and chief executive officer, highlighted the suitability of high-efficiency TOPCon modules for the growing demands of US AI infrastructure and electricity grids, noting that these products are being manufactured in Texas.
