Sunvia has announced plans to upgrade and restart its factory in Norcross, Georgia. The solar cell manufacturing company has been inoperative since 2017 after filing bankruptcy. This new project promises to generate 240 new jobs and increase the plant’s annual manufacturing capacity to 1 GW. During phase two of the project, capacity is expected to increase to 2.5 GW.
In a recent quote, Cristiano Amoruso, Suniva CEO and board member, said, “Since 2007, Suniva has been a leader in solar cell technology development and manufacturing. The Inflation Reduction Act and its domestic content provisions, as issued, provide a strong foundation for continued solar cell technology development and manufacturing in the United States. We look forward to engaging with our customers to satisfy their demand for a reliable source of U.S. made cells.”
