Siemens announces it will commence manufacturing photovoltaic (PV) string inverters in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where the company will produce utility-scale solar components specifically devised to cater to the U.S. market.

The Kenosha amenity, owned and operated by the company’s long-time manufacturing partner Sanmina, will support to fulfill the growing demand for localized production of critical parts for photovoltaic projects while assisting customers take advantage of the full value of solar tax credits and domestic content incentives.

Operations at the Kenosha facility will be the newest addition to Siemens’ growing U.S. footprint, underscoring the company’s strong manufacturing presence in Siemens’ largest market. Over the past four years, Siemens has invested USD 3 billion to expand U.S. manufacturing and other strategic M&A activities.

The facility is projected to begin production in early 2024 and will scale up to a capacity of 5,200 BPTL3 string inverters (800MW) per year. The string inverters, which will range from 125 to 155 kW, will be manufactured with an industry-leading California Energy Commission (CEC) efficiency of 99 percent. The inverters are designed for 1000- or 1500-Volt DC solar array input and can be utilized for either decentralized or ‘virtual central' design architectures.

Ruth Gratzke, President of Siemens Smart Infrastructure USA, said, “This new production line at the Sanmina facility represents Siemens’ strategic priorities to best serve our U.S. customers while being a key partner in our nation’s transition to a more sustainable future.”

He said further, “The investments we’re making in communities like Kenosha and the work that we will be doing to bring renewable infrastructure to life will have a crucial impact as we work towards our net-zero goals as a country.”
