T1 Energy contracts with Clearway to provide 641MW of solar modules.

SUMMARY:

  • T1 and Clearway Energy Group have entered an agreement for T1 to provide Clearway with 641MW of solar modules.
  • Clearway, an independent power producer, is one of the largest owners of clean energy generation assets in the U.S., with a portfolio that comprises approximately 13.9GW of gross capacity in 27 states.
  • This contract is for solar modules built with domestic solar cells from T1’s G2_Austin solar cell fab, which is expected to begin operations in Q1 2027.

Today, we announced T1 Energy has signed a contract with Clearway Energy Group to provide Clearway with 641MW of solar modules built with domestic solar cells from T1’s G2_Austin solar cell fab.

This deal is part of our commercial strategy to offer customers a traceable and reliable solar supply chain. Leveraging our 5GW solar module facility, G1_Dallas, T1 offers integrated solutions that help clients like Clearway build top-tier energy resources.

“We are pleased to be signing a strategic partnership with Clearway, a leading energy developer that is adding needed gigawatts to U.S. grids. Customers such as Clearway seeking high-domestic-content modules are building critical momentum for a ‘Made in America’ supply chain.”

This agreement underscores Clearway’s commitment to drive investment in American manufacturing, while maintaining industry-leading traceability, quality, and domestic content standards.

“Contracts with top-tier manufacturers like T1 help ensure that Clearway can deliver on our ambitious development pipeline with competitive and reliable projects. With this deal, we are especially excited to bring domestic cells into future construction, generating American-made power with American-made parts.”

At T1, we’re continuing to increase the domestic content of our modules. Domestic modules with domestic cells are in high demand given rising uncertainty around trade and tariff policy. As part of our strategy, T1 began construction of our G2_Austin solar cell fab in December 2025, and we expect the first 2.1GW phase to be producing cells in Q1 2027. T1 expects to offer modules with greater than 60% domestic content in 2027.
