Qcells and Summit Ridge Energy have announced a major project to deploy 1.2 gigawatts (GW) of community solar power across the US. This is the latest in a three-year-long partnership between the two companies, and it will result in 2.5 million solar panels being manufactured by Qcells. This is the largest community solar order in US history, and it is expected to generate enough clean electricity to power 140,000 homes and businesses, including those in underserved communities.
US Vice President Kamala Harris will be officially marking the commitment between the two companies at a Qcells’ solar panel manufacturing site in Dalton, Georgia today. This project is part of a larger investment by Qcells to build a solar supply chain in Georgia, which is the largest-ever investment in clean energy manufacturing in the US to date.
Community solar is a great way for renters and those without access to rooftop solar to benefit from clean energy, as it results in an average of 10% in annual savings for customers. Qcells has also announced an additional $147 million investment through its solar supplier, Hanwha Advanced Materials Georgia, to open a third factory in Georgia. This factory will be the only one in the US to produce solar ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA), which is used to provide adhesion between the PV module’s solar cells, the top surface, and the rear surface.
Qcells’ total solar panel production capacity in Georgia is expected to reach 8.4 GW by 2024. This project is a major step forward for clean energy in the US, and it will help to make renewable energy more accessible and affordable for everyone.
