AUSTIN, Texas and NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- T1 Energy Inc., the largest American-owned manufacturer of silicon-based TOPCon solar modules, has received a waiver from the Department of Commerce that supports its advanced photovoltaic module manufacturing activities and plans to expand U.S. solar cell manufacturing. The waiver relates to the Trump Administration’s Section 232 proclamation in August, which takes decisive steps to prevent market dumping and price manipulation of imported polysilicon and solar products derived from polysilicon. T1, the largest American-owned manufacturer of silicon-based TOPCon solar modules, requested the expedited waiver to import up to 1.725GW of solar cells to facilitate uninterrupted manufacturing at T1’s G1_Dallas solar module facility in order to meet existing and expected contracted demand.
