Companies Facts
100MW plant will be Oregon’s first thin film solar manufacturing plant and the largest nanotechno- logy manufacturing facility in the world. Solexant expects to receive a $25 million SELP loan from the Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE), the largest loan bestowed in the 30-year history of the state energy loan program.
“We are pleased to welcome Solexant to Oregon, North America’s leading solar manufacturing cen- ter,” said Governor Kulongoski. “This investment will mean jobs immediately for Oregonians with the pro- mise of more in the future. In addition, this company brings a new technological facet to Oregon’s already booming solar manufacturing base and will help us continue to be a global leader in solar manufactu- ring.”
Along with an $18.75 million Business Energy Tax Credit (BETC) from ODOE, a $25 million loan from the State of Oregon Energy Loan Program and the $64 million in equity funding Solexant has raised to date, the company will have adequate funds to bring the nanotechnology-based thin film solar plant to full capacity. The factory will initially be housed in an existing 100,000 to 150,000 sq foot facility in Gres- ham with plans to construct the new manufacturing line in 2011.
