“Investing in our own cell manufacturing line is a key milestone in our long term strategy and will decrease our dependency on other suppliers, thereby securing consistent quality cell input for our high efficiency modules,” said Mike Song, Chairman of Sunova Solar, adding that it provides the company with better control over the supply chain and assurance that its modules are made with non-forced labour materials.
The investment in a solar cell plant brings the company closer towards its path to becoming a fully integrated solar producer, as Sunova Solar currently has module assembly plants in China and Vietnam with an annual nameplate capacity of 4.2GW.
