Mexican systems begin to get financed and implemented

Suniva commissions 500 kW rooftop PV system in central Mexico
29.07.2013: US solar cell and module maker Suniva Inc., along with project partners Radiance Solar and Grupo Metal Intra (GMI), has commissioned a 500 kW rooftop PV system in central Mexico. The grid-connected system, installed atop a GMI manufacturing facility in the state of Queretaro, relies on 1,632 Suniva OPT300 monocrystalline modules, which have a module conversion efficiency of more than 16 percent. The US Export-Import Bank and its affiliate UPS Capital provided financing for the system and installation. Suniva recently ramped up production at its module assembly plant in Norcross, Georgia to meet increased demand. The company hired nearly 100 new employees so it could run its module lines 24/7. Suniva has been running its monocrystalline cell production lines 24/7 since it began cell production in 2008. Suniva expanded its Norcross cell and module production facility to 170 MW in July 2010 and expects to increase capacity further this year. The company also has 500 MW of production capacity in Asia. © PHOTON
