New Oregon solar product factory to be largest in North America

Renewable Energy Today,  March 5, 2007  

SolarWorld AG plans to establish a solar silicon wafer and solar cell production facility in Hillsboro, Oregon, that will become the largest solar factory in North America once the plant reaches its projected capacity of 500 megawatts by 2009.

The Germany-based company will invest an estimated $400 million on the new facility that will produce mono-crystalline solar silicon products, according to the company.

The State of Oregon is expected to support the company by offering property and business energy tax credits.
