Suniva, a solar cell plant based in Norcross, will be reopening its factory after being out of operation for the past six years.
Banner printing can be used at such sites to inform the community of reopenings and the benefits for the community.
Matt Card, president and CEO of Suniva, said the company is planning to relaunch itself and will eventually manufacture more solar cells than any other facility in the United States. Card explained that solar cells are the building block of a solar panel, much like the central processing unit is the brains of a computer.
Card said the company licensed the technology from Georgia Tech and was founded in 2007 from research conducted at Georgia Tech. He added that solar cells from Suniva can be found all around the world.
Although the company went bankrupt in 2017, the Inflation Reduction Act opened up the availability of tax credits on solar panels made in the United States. In addition, Card said there is a great deal of support from Governor Brain Kemp with his emphasis on manufacturing jobs, and from the Solar Energy Manufacturing for America bill worked on by Senator Jon Ossoff.
The facility is currently under construction with renovations being made to upgrade the infrastructure. The opening of the facility is expected to create at least 240 jobs for those in the area. Card said the company is planning to be operational by next spring.
