CS PowerTech opens first phase of solar cell facility in Indiana, US
CS PowerTech, a US-based manufacturing subsidiary of Canadian Solar, has opened the first phase of its photovoltaic cell manufacturing plant at the River Ridge Commerce Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The facility is the first in the US designed to produce heterojunction (HJT) bifacial N-type solar cells, aiming to strengthen the domestic supply chain for solar technology. At full capacity, the plant could produce more than 6GW-peak of solar cells annually and create over 1,200 skilled jobs in southern Indiana. The total local investment is projected to be nearly $1bn. The site will operate alongside CS PowerTech's module manufacturing plant in Mesquite, Texas, as part of an integrated supply strategy. CS PowerTech plans to ramp up production to full capacity over the coming months and begin work on a second phase of expansion before the end of the year.
