Join representatives from SolarWorld, one of the largest solar energy businesses in the world, to learn more about job opportunities within Oregon at SolarWorld's new plant in Hillsboro, Oregon. All engineering disciplines invited and welcomed!
Company Info: SolarWorld’s family of companies are dedicated exclusively to the business of solar energy, combining all stages of the solar photovoltaic (PV) value chain, from the raw material silicon to turn-key solar power plants. SolarWorld operates production facilities in the USA and in Germany as well as sales offices around the world. In 2007, SolarWorld AG acquired the Komatsu silicon wafer production facility in Hillsboro, OR (near Portland) for $40 million and is currently investing over $400 million to renovate the 480,000 square foot facility into a world-class manufacturing plant that will convert raw silicon into up to 500 MW worth of PV wafers and cells every year. The new Hillsboro facility will come on line in fall 2008 and it will employ up to 1,000 people by the end of the ramp up phase in 2009. The Hillsboro factory will provide enough PV cells to serve the entire North and South American market, including the expanded module production in Camarillo, as well as exports to Europe and Asia.
