Semprius To Open Its First Solar Module Production Facility.

Semprius To Open Its First Solar Module Production Facility. Semprius, an innovator in high concentration photovoltaic (HCPV) solar modules, will officially open its first production facility on Sept. 26 in Henderson, North Carolina. The new facility uses a proprietary manufacturing process to produce the world’s highest efficiency solar modules. At 33.9 percent conversion efficiency, Semprius’ modules are the first to convert more than one-third of the sun’s energy into electricity. “The highly anticipated opening of this new facility has significant implications for the future of renewable energy,” said Carr. “It’s a major milestone for Semprius, and we’re very proud of our team and our public and private partners that have helped us bring it in on time and on budget. With production ramped up, we will be able to effectively service our customers, including companies lik...
