Advanced Solar Photonics Solar Panels are 100% American Made

Lake Mary, Fl., May 6, 2009 – Advanced Solar Photonics (ASP) announced today that the company’s monocrystalline solar panels which are slated to come off the line in July of 2009, will be one hundred percent American made.

“We are very proud to be the only monocrystalline solar panel manufacturer that can say our panels are completely made in the United States,” said ASPs’ Corporate Marketing and Public Relations Manager, Maureen McHale.


Currently, clean rooms are in place, equipment is being installed and a pilot line will be up and running within the next few weeks to allow for full certification. Starting at 5MW in July and ramping up to 100MW at the end of 2009, ASP will increase production capacity by 50MW every quarter thereafter to be at 500MW by 2011. Additionally, full thin film production is scheduled to ramp up to 40MW by late 2010.


“Our SolarFAB™ facility will not only be largest thin film and monocrystalline solar manufacturing plant in the United States, but unlike any other company, 100% of the components and materials for our monocrystalline panels will be made in America. Even the equipment used for production is made in the United States.” said McHale.


This new facility will not only manufacture American made solar products, but will also be responsible for the creation of green jobs. ASP expects to hire approximately 200 people by the end of the summer of 2009 and another 1300 over the next two years.


Advanced Solar Photonics, (ASP) located in Lake Mary, Florida employs an international team of technology driven professionals.
