Scheduled to begin production during the second quarter of 2011, Flextronics will produce MEMC branded solar panels that will be used by SunEdison for its solar PV projects.
This is expected to enable SunEdison and its project partners to exceed the 60% domestic content requirement of Ontario’s Feed-in Tariff Program (FIT) while supporting SunEdison’s anticipated growth in the region.
SunEdison president Carlos Domenech said that this initiative not only satisfies the domestic content requirement for SunEdison, but also signals a significant long-term investment in the Ontario solar market.
"We see tremendous opportunity in supplying high-quality panels to accommodate the large volume of projects in the area," Domenech said.
