Qcells has announced it plans to invest more than $2.5 billion to establish a complete solar supply chain in the United States. In addition to its existing two solar module assembly facilities in Dalton, Georgia, the company will build a new factory in the state that will manufacture 3.3 GW of silicon ingots, wafers, cells and more finished panels.
In Q1 2023, Qcells will break ground on the new factory in Cartersville, Georgia, approximately 40 miles south of the company’s Dalton campus. The Cartersville site is expected to begin producing ingots, wafers, cells and panels in late 2024.
Qcells has operated a 1.7-GW solar panel factory in Dalton since 2019 and began constructing a second 1.4-GW factory last year. The company plans to add a third factory on-site that will produce 2 GW of panels annually. The Dalton campus will reach 5.1 GW of solar panel production later this year. Adding the 3.3 GW of panel capacity at the new Cartersville site, Qcells will have a total of 8.4 GW of silicon solar panel manufacturing capacity in the United States.
