Meyer Burger Technology AG, a manufacturer of solar modules based in Thun, Switzerland, is planning to build its first U.S. assembly plant.
Meyer Burger is reviewing a list of possible locations in several U.S. states, and the company expects to make a decision by the end of 2021. The criteria for choosing a location include available buildings, regulatory and tax considerations, state and local economic development programs, available qualified workforce, proximity to transport infrastructure, the supply of renewable energy, and the commitment of local communities.
