The plant – to be owned by subsidiary Seraphim Solar Manufacturing USA Inc. – will be heavily automated and built in two phases. It will boast “a minimum” production capacity of 300MW when it begins shipping modules later this year.
Seraphim did not specify where the cells for its US-made modules will come from.
The announcement, made via a statement, adds to the momentum that the still-small US solar manufacturing has built over the past year – momentum which stems partly from a ratcheting up of the US trade tariffs imposed on Chinese and Taiwanese PV components.
