Korean solar energy giant Hanwha Solutions said it plans to build out a “fully American” supply chain, cautioning that government incentives to support domestic manufacturing are critical to the proposal.
Hanwha, owner of solar module manufacturer Q CELLS, said it aims to provide all aspects of the U.S. solar supply chain. That pledge follows its acquisition of polysilicon manufacturer REC Silicon. Q CELLS already operates one of the largest solar module manufacturing plants in the U.S, a 1.7 GW capacity factory in Georgia.
Hanwha described its plan as a “multi-phase, multi-billion dollar” investment in the U.S. solar market.
