Welser supplies Origami Solar with sample frames today from their Austria location and are building dedicated frame manufacturing lines at their Valley City, Ohio factory to supply US demand, starting in Q1 of 2025. Welser''s Ohio
The solar industry has advanced a lot over the past 20 years. Unfortunately, advances in the module frame have not followed suit. The Origami Solar team saw this market need and developed an innovative and patent-pending steel
Origami Solar is the developer of a patent-pending steel solar panel frame that is transforming the solar industry through high-speed domestic production, reduced material and manufacturing cost, and dramatically lower greenhouse gas emissions. Stay in touch and we will keep you updated on how we're reframing PV modules with steel module frames.
Origami Solar’s manufacturing partners will produce Origami Solar patented steel frames from multiple locations across the United States offering redundancy, reliability, and optimal logistics. Manufacturing is ready to scale in the US and Europe and can be adapted for other regions.
Origami Solar’s patented steel frame design and superior roll-forming fabrication method delivers superior durability and performance leading to reduced project cost, risk, and improved LCOE for the solar industry. It’s not surprising that consumers and investors in renewable energy are demanding products that emit less GHGs.
After working on the process for 12 years, Origami Solar developed a patent-pending frame design that is manufacturable using a steel roll forming process. The company reports that the frames meet structural requirements and have a projected module lifespan of 30 years. To continue reading, please visit our pv magazine USA website
The three partnerships Origami announced today – with Welser Profile of Valley City, Ohio; Priefert, of Mt. Pleasant, Texas; and Unimacts of Houston, Texas – will enable Origami to ship steel solar frames to customers in the first quarter of 2025.
Origami has prioritized a domestic U.S. supply chain to help the U.S. solar industry avoid the enormous risks, including time-consuming and expensive trans-Pacific shipping; reliance upon companies based in an often-adversarial nation intent on monopolizing the solar industry; and less reliable and more carbon-intensive components.
