Canadian Solar Inc. will invest a projected $800 million to establish new solar photovoltaic (PV) cell production facility at the River Ridge Commerce Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The new plant will produce an annual output of 5GW – equivalent to approximately 20,000 high-power solar panels per day
The Indiana facility will be the Guelph, Ontario-based company’s second solar module production facility in the U.S. It will create approximately 1,200 new jobs in the region over the next several years.
