South Buffalo plant largest in North America
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) - SolarCity addressed a crowd of over 300 people at the Hyatt Regency Thursday. The event held by the Buffalo Niagara Partnership gave SolarCity the chance to tell Buffalo that their plant will be complete by the end of the year.
Their South Buffalo plant is 1 million-square feet and will produce 10,000 solar panels a day. Production will begin the second half of next year.
Vinayak Gupta, Vice President of Supply Chain, says the factory will need local support. Materials like aluminum, glass and chemicals are needed to produce solar panels.
