Solar is the industry to be in right now. With rapid growth in the sector SCHOTT Solar Plans To Expand U.S. Solar PV Production. The company sees growing demand for both its photovoltaic and concentrated solar power technologies. It announced today plans to build a new photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing facility that will increase its domestic PV production by more than 60 MW. SCHOTT Solar is currently evaluating locations for the new facility, which is scheduled to go online in 2009.

In addition to producing solar PV modules, the new facility will be designed to produce receivers for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. This will provide SCHOTT with the ability to begin producing solar receivers at the facility if the market develops as the company anticipates. Anticipating future production increases of its solar power technologies, the new site will be built to support later expansion of both SCHOTT’s PV and its solar receiver lines as the US renewable energy market continues to grow.
