Unlocking new frontiers for solar panel installation
Bila Solar believes in creating revolutionary clean technologies. Our innovative products deliver groundbreaking solar solutions to markets that glass modules underserve. We make it possible to capture clean energy everywhere, including low-load bearing roofs, vehicle integrated photovoltaics, architectural applications, and off-grid energy.
Founded in 2014, Bila Solar quickly grew to more than 500 MW of installations worldwide. Today, we operate a 1 GW manufacturing facility in Asia, and we’re expanding to the US. The 1 GW-scale manufacturing plant in Indianapolis, Indiana, is scheduled to be operational late-2024.
