“There is currently a growing demand for solar panels, by utility companies and individual consumers across the U.S. Companies like Project Volt have determined that it has recently become more cost effective to begin to manufacture their products close to their client base. The proposed facility will be one of the more advanced solar panel manufacturing operations in the world, and Project Volt’s first manufacturing facility in the U.S. The establishment of such a high tech operation in Jacksonville could possibly lead to other similar types of operations and affiliated suppliers being attracted to Jacksonville,” said the project summary.
