The company started producing monocrystalline solar cells at its Norcross facility in October 2008 and now operates two solar cell production lines with an annual capacity of 100MW. Currently, Suniva is preparing to construct its third manufacturing line in Norcross, which will increase production capacity by 75% and create more than 50 manufacturing jobs in 2010, the company said.
John Baumstark, CEO of Suniva, said: “In little more than a year, Suniva built the capacity to produce hundreds of millions of dollars worth of solar technology, and we’ve created over 130 green jobs in the process.
“These tax credits enable us to continue expanding and supplying the rapidly growing American solar market with products developed in American laboratories and made by American workers.”
