Solar Panel Maker Opens $200 Million Assembly Plant in Georgia
DALTON, GA—The South Korean company Hanwha Q Cells USA has opened the largest solar module manufacturing plant in North America. The $200 million factory will employ 650 people and produce enough solar panels each year to generate as much peak power as the Hoover Dam.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said the factory is one of 13 foreign direct investments this year in Georgia from Korea—more than any other country.
