Waaree Energies’ US subsidiary, Waaree Solar Americas, has secured a contract to supply 236.22 MW of solar modules for a utility-scale solar project in Flemingsburg, Kentucky, strengthening the company’s order pipeline in one of its key overseas markets just days after it clarified that an ongoing US customs matter had not affected its business operations.
Under the agreement, Waaree Solar Americas will supply its N-Type G12R photovoltaic modules in 615 Wp and 620 Wp variants, which will be manufactured at its facility in Brookshire, Texas. The company did not disclose the value of the contract or the identity of the customer, describing it only as an international developer and operator of sustainable infrastructure projects in the renewable energy sector. The agreement is a one-time supply contract, with deliveries of the 236.22 MW solar modules scheduled during the first and second quarters of FY28.
The latest order adds to Waaree’s expanding US order book as demand for domestically manufactured solar equipment continues to rise, driven by utility-scale renewable energy projects and efforts to build a resilient local solar supply chain. The company said it had an overall order book of around ₹53,000 crore, reflecting demand across domestic and international markets.
“This order reflects the increasing confidence that utility-scale developers have in Waaree Solar Americas as a trusted domestic manufacturing partner,” stated Sunil Rathi, Executive Director, Waaree Group in an official release on Tuesday. He said the US remains one of the company’s most strategic growth markets and that the latest contract reinforces its long-term commitment to supporting America’s clean energy transition through domestic manufacturing. The Kentucky project is expected to contribute to the state’s renewable energy ambitions while using solar modules manufactured in the US.
The order comes two days after Waaree issued a clarification on a determination by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in an investigation relating to certain historical imports into the United States. In its statement issued on June 28, the company said CBP, after conducting a detailed investigation that included an on-site verification of Waaree’s manufacturing facility in India, had confirmed that the company did not export solar modules manufactured using Chinese-origin solar cells, that it had fully cooperated with the investigation, that the agency drew no adverse inference against the company, and that it rejected the petitioner’s request to make an evasion finding covering all of Waaree’s imports.
Waaree, however, acknowledged that the CBP’s determination applies to a narrow subset of certain historical import entries. The company said the determination is not a final adjudication and that it is evaluating all available legal remedies, including seeking a de novo administrative review followed, if required, by judicial review before the US Court of International Trade.
The company also said its US business continues to operate normally and that there has been no impact on manufacturing, customer deliveries or commercial operations. It added that it would continue to cooperate with US authorities and provide updates in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
