Silfab Solar Increases Module Production to 300 MW, Expands and Upgrades Facility to Meet Growing North America Demand

Silfab Solar today announced it is increasing production, expanding its facility and breaking monthly production records at its North American photovoltaic solar module manufacturing facility.

The current plant expansion, which will bring annual production to more than 300 megawatts, is necessary to meet strong demand from its North American partners that recognize the multiple advantages brought by Silfab’s automated production process and increased efficiency outputs. The expansion, which includes an upgrade of existing equipment to manufacture five-busbar modules, now places Silfab among the top four PV solar production facilities in North America. The plant expansion will be completed in the third quarter of 2015 and already has added 30 new clean-tech jobs.

“Solar companies seeking to provide customers with the latest advancements in ultra-high efficiency and other innovations at competitive prices are recognizing the Silfab advantage. Our superior production line delivers unmatched quality, reliability and durability,” said Paolo Maccario, Silfab’s Chief Operating Officer. “We are pleased by the ongoing positive response to our unique offering and our more than 30 years of solar industry expertise.”
