- Production of 2 GW per year of solar cells with the Goodyear, Arizona facility has been planned at current German factory locations Thalheim and Bitterfeld-Wolfen.
- Manufacturing capacity could reach 15 GW annually. • Department of Energy (DOE) may potentially fund construction of a solar cell facility.
- 800,000 solar cells are produced daily for 6,000 solar modules; 1.4 GW/year expansion will increase output to 10,000 modules per day.
- Meyer Burger is shifting its production completely to glass glass solar modules, which have been laboratory tested to show “zero degradation”.
