Just weeks after the Inflation Reduction Act was passed into US law, EnduransTM Solar continues to consolidate its position as the country’s leading domestic backsheet manufacturer. Significant commercial volumes of the award-winning EnduransTM HP backsheet are now being manufactured in Nashua, New Hampshire to meet increased demand from several leading US module manufacturers.
The EnduransTM HP backsheet is manufactured using a unique, lamination-free, co-extrusion process that delivers superior protective qualities, based on a novel material stack. EnduransTM US-based customers are now achieving substantial cost savings on import duties as well as benefitting from shorter, leaner supply chains; while also doing their part for the planet by reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance backsheet shipments. Furthermore, the EnduransTM HP backsheet technology itself delivers a range of sustainability benefits. Made from PFAS-free, fully recyclable polyolefin formulations, the EnduransTM backsheet has up to a 30% lower carbon footprint compared to traditional products.
To accommodate anticipated demand both in the US and overseas, EnduransTM Solar is also executing plans to significantly increase its US backsheet manufacturing capacity. The company is currently finalizing site selection for a new manufacturing plant, with the new line expected to become operational in mid-2023.
Said Nathan Arbitman, President of EnduransTM Solar: “We’re excited that many more millions of solar panels will be manufactured and installed in the US over the coming years, and we look forward to supporting the growth of US solar panel manufacturers with our high-performance, sustainable and made-in-America backsheets.”
