Pine Gate Renewables Signs Agreement with Waaree Solar Americas For Over 500 MW Of Domestically Manufactured Solar Modules

Pine Gate Renewables and Waaree Solar Americas, a subsidiary of Waaree Energies Ltd., have announced a major agreement involving the purchase of 586 megawatts (MW) of high-efficiency, domestically manufactured solar modules. Valued at $176 million, this order marks a significant investment in strengthening the American solar supply chain. The modules will be deployed across four of Pine Gate’s upcoming solar projects, which are scheduled to begin operations starting in 2026. The deal highlights Pine Gate’s continued focus on building a secure, resilient, and U.S.-based solar infrastructure.

Kim Osmars, Chief Operating Officer at Pine Gate Renewables, said, “With rapidly rising energy demand, investing in the American solar supply chain ensures clean energy resources remain secure and cost effective.”

John Kern, Pine Gate’s transaction lead and Senior Vice President, stated, “Building clean energy projects with domestically manufactured components enhances the value of those assets while supporting local jobs and a more robust domestic clean energy industry.”

Sunil Rathi, President at Waaree Solar Americas, mentioned, “This order is a testament to the trust companies like Pine Gate place in Waaree’s technology, reliability, and commitment to sustainability. It also reinforces our mission to support the U.S. solar market with high-quality, domestically manufactured modules.”

Waaree Solar Americas recently revealed plans to expand its manufacturing facility in Brookshire, Texas. Currently operating at a capacity of 1.6 gigawatts (GW), the plant is set to double its output to 3.2 GW, a move that supports both local job creation and national clean energy goals. Before establishing its manufacturing presence in the United States, Waaree had already supplied more than 6 GW of solar modules from its facilities in India to customers across the country, reflecting a long-standing commitment to the U.S. solar market. This partnership between Pine Gate and Waaree represents a meaningful step forward in advancing domestic solar manufacturing and clean energy deployment nationwide.
