### **A Fully Integrated Solar Manufacturing Facility**
To rebuild critical parts of the solar supply chain, a massive solar manufacturing project is underway in Cartersville, Georgia. This facility will carry out every step of the solar panel production process, including producing ingots, wafers, solar cells, and finished solar panels. Once completed, it will be the largest ingot and wafer plant in the U.S.—and the first fully integrated silicon-based solar manufacturing facility built in over a decade.
