Runergy has just announced that its 2-GW solar panel factory in Huntsville, Alabama has officially begun production. The factory will start producing the first customer orders this month.
“We are pleased to begin solar panel production here in Alabama,” said Jet Li, CEO. “This plant not only brings new jobs and opportunities to the area, but also represents our commitment to advancing renewable energy and supporting America’s clean energy goals. We couldn’t be more proud of our team’s hard work.”
Runergy Alabama is the first manufacturing plant in the United States to open as part of Runergy Group’s plan to expand into the North American market. Runergy is largely a Chinese solar cell manufacturer with a production capacity of 57 GW. The company also makes n-type solar panels with a wafer size of 182 mm. In August, solar energy company Tongwei announced a plan to pay 5 bill yuan ($698 million) for a 51% controlling stake in Runergy.
