BOVIET SOLAR'S U.S. PV MODULE MANUFACTURING AND PV CELL MANUFACTURING ACQUIRED BY INOX SOLAR AMERICAS TO STRENGTHEN U.S. SOLAR PLATFORM

Transaction enhances long-term value, bankability, and alignment with U.S. regulatory frameworks

GREENVILLE, N.C., May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Boviet Solar Technology LLC ("Boviet Solar" or "the Company"), a leading solar technology company specializing in manufacturing top-performing Gamma Series™ Monofacial and Vega Series™ Bifacial PV modules, today announced a strategic ownership transition involving the sale of its U.S.-based subsidiary, Boviet Solar Technology LLC's assets.

The Company has entered into an agreement to sell 100% of Boviet Solar Technology LLC's assets ("Boviet NC") to INOX Solar Americas, LLC, a U.S.-based renewable energy company backed by INOX Clean Energy Limited, part of the multi-billion-dollar INOXGFL Group. The approximately $750 million transaction is expected to close in May, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals.

Through this asset purchase, Inox Clean gains an operational capacity of 3 GW of solar module manufacturing, (top-end, N-Type technology) and a binding agreement to acquire 3 GW of cell manufacturing capacity (top-end, N-Type technology), which is expected to be commissioned by December 2026. This makes it one of the largest purchases in the renewable space, and of U.S assets by an Indian group.

The acquisition supports INOX Solar Americas' strategy to expand its presence in U.S. solar manufacturing and strengthen its position across the renewable energy value chain. Boviet Solar's brand, product portfolio, and customer relationships remain unchanged, and the company will continue to actively serve the U.S. market through its U.S.-focused manufacturing operations and structured supply chain network, ensuring reliable product availability and execution continuity.

Strategic Realignment to Support U.S. Market and Regulatory Environment

This ownership transition reflects Boviet Solar's proactive approach to aligning with evolving U.S. regulatory frameworks, including policies related to Foreign Entity of Concern (FEOC), as well as broader market and supply chain dynamics.

As the solar industry continues to evolve, project success is increasingly driven by regulatory compliance, financing eligibility, and supply chain transparency. This realignment reduces regulatory exposure, enhances operational flexibility, and ensures continued alignment with U.S. market requirements. The transition reinforces Boviet Solar's long-term focus on stability, bankability, execution certainty, and delivering consistent value to customers and partners.

"This decision reflects our proactive approach to aligning with evolving U.S. regulatory frameworks while strengthening Boviet Solar's long-term strategic positioning. By optimizing our operating structure and reducing regulatory complexity, we are reinforcing our ability to deliver reliable, high-performance PV modules while maintaining strong bankability and operational stability. Our commitment to the U.S. market remains unchanged. We will continue to support our partners with the same level of quality, service, and execution they expect from Boviet Solar," said Mr. Jimmy Xie, President & General Manager of Boviet Solar.

U.S. Manufacturing Facility to Continue Operations

Boviet Solar's North Carolina manufacturing facility will continue operations under the new ownership structure. The site, which began commercial production in 2025, remains a key part of the company's U.S. manufacturing footprint, supporting the production of high-performance PV modules across multiple applications. The facility will continue to contribute to domestic solar manufacturing, workforce continuity, and the broader clean energy transition, while supporting long-term growth in the U.S. market.

"We are pleased to acquire Boviet Solar Technology LLC's assets and build upon the strong foundation established by Boviet Solar. This facility is an important asset within the U.S. solar manufacturing landscape, and we are committed to continuing its operations and supporting domestic clean energy production. This acquisition aligns with our strategy to expand our presence in U.S. solar manufacturing. We remain focused on strengthening the facility's capabilities, ensuring it continues to support a reliable U.S. solar supply chain including solar modules and cells," said Mr. Devansh Jain, INOXGFL Group Executive Director.

Seamless Transition with No Impact to Customers or Projects

Boviet Solar confirms that the ownership transition will have no impact on customers, partners, or ongoing projects. All existing contracts, delivery schedules, product specifications, and warranties remain fully in place, with projects continuing without interruption. The company's U.S. manufacturing operations and supply chain will continue to operate at full capacity, ensuring reliable supply, transparency, and on-time delivery.

Strengthening U.S. Manufacturing and Energy Transition

The transaction supports the continued operation and future growth of Boviet Solar's North Carolina facility, preserving approximately 3.0 GW of annual domestic PV module capacity. The facility will remain a key contributor to U.S. solar manufacturing, supply chain resilience, workforce continuity, regional economic growth, and national clean energy initiatives.

Enhancing Bankability and Reducing Project Risk

This strategic realignment strengthens regulatory alignment, reduces compliance risk, and enhances long-term project stability. Developers and EPCs benefit from execution and reliable supply, while investors and lenders gain increased confidence in bankability and financing eligibility. Asset owners benefit from consistent performance and long-term value.

Focused on Long-Term Growth and Innovation

Boviet Solar will continue to deliver high-performance PV modules while advancing technology, improving manufacturing efficiency, and supporting next-generation solar projects. This transition reinforces the company's commitment to stability, execution, and long-term value creation in the U.S. market.
