Solar4America se expande en Sacramento y añade 400 puestos de trabajo

U.S. Panel Manufacturer Expands Space to its Operations in the Region

Sacramento, California, March 2, 2023-El fabricante de módulos solares Solar4America, con sede en Sacramento, ha anunciado su intención de ampliar su presencia en la región de Sacramento, con planes para añadir 56.000 pies cuadrados adicionales de espacio y 400 puestos de trabajo más para la empresa en Sacramento para finales de 2024.

“We are working hard to be the shining example that manufacturing can be successful in California,” said HK Cheong, President and CEO of Solar4America. “Sacramento had been our home for more than decade and we are looking forward to a long, successful collaboration with the community and our partners throughout the region.”

Consejo Económico del Gran Sacramento (GSEC) worked closely with the company to support its efforts and growth, helping to connect Solar4America with diverse local talent and universities.

“When a company like Solar4America decides to deepen its roots here in Sacramento, it reaffirms the company’s commitment to our local economy and supports cleantech manufacturing jobs in our region,” said GSEC President & CEO Barry Broome. “We look forward to seeing the ongoing success of this innovative energy partner.”

As the company looks to increase its footprint, Solar4America is working with Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) to add 12 MW of power to its operations. The additional power will support the company’s expanded space and capacity to ramp up production of its solar panels.

Solar4America manufactures a variety of solar panels for residential, commercial and utility projects using state-of-the-art equipment and technology. The company also has a U.S.-based customer support team and has operated its U.S. headquarters in Sacramento since 2006.

“This is an exciting expansion for Sacramento, and SMUD is honored to support Solar4America with its growing energy needs,” said SMUD Director Heidi Sanborn. “We’re proud to serve our commercial customers, especially those who share our commitment to renewable energy and innovation, as we work to create a carbon free economy.”

“I’m thrilled to work with Solar4America and honored that they have chosen to grow their presence here in our district,” said Assemblymember Joshua Hoover of California’s District 7. “I value Solar4America’s contributions to the local business community and support for our region.”

“A manufacturing renaissance is underway in California right now,” said Lance Hastings, President & CEO of the California Manufacturers & Technology Association (CMTA). “Bringing more manufacturing jobs to the table is imperative for our industry and to bolster the economy. The 400 jobs Solar4America is creating will provide more opportunities for other sectors in the Greater Sacramento region. Our future is bright.”

“We are pleased to welcome additional manufacturing capacity and jobs to one of the fastest growing metro areas in the U.S. As manufacturing continues to thrive in California, ensuring a high-value domestic supply chain of quality solar materials will be paramount in accelerating sustainability in power generation and this expansion aims to do just that. We are proud to support GSEC and Solar4America in addressing the needs for a more resilient future.” said Kaina Pereira Senior Advisor, Business Development at GO-Biz
