SolarCity Corp. put the call out Thursday to Buffalo-area businesses to become partners and part of their supply chain.
At a breakfast event, Vinayak Gupta, vice president of supply chain at SolarCity Corp., highlighted the company’s vision for the region and efforts to develop a supply chain to meet round-the-clock production, which would employ approximately 1,500 over three shifts.
San Mateo, Calif.-based SolarCity is building North America’s largest solar panel manufacturing facility at Buffalo’s RiverBend site. When completed, perhaps later this year, the one million square-foot facility will employ about 1,500 over three shifts.
