Building on a strong partnership of approximately five years, Flextronics announced that it has once again been selected to partner with SunEdison to manufacture its solar modules – this time, in Mexico. SunEdison is the world’s largest renewable energy development company, and these solar modules will be primarily used in the U.S. for residential, utility and commercial photovoltaic (PV) projects.
Flextronics will begin the full volume manufacturing in the first quarter of calendar 2015 at its center of excellence for solar module manufacturing facility in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. SunEdison chose to manufacture at Flextronics in Ciudad Juarez given the strategic location bordering the U.S., just south of El Paso, with access to all major U.S. rail lines and highways for fulfillment.
“This latest business award will increase our manufacturing capacity to more than 1.7 gigawatts, underscoring our leadership position as the largest supply chain solutions provider for solar modules,” said Scott Graybeal, Flextronics SVP of energy.
According to Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and research, the U.S. will install an estimated 8.5 GW of solar modules in 2015, including utility-scale, residential and commercial rooftop installations.
