MSolar Manufacturing will open a solar manufacturing facility in Virginia, creating 150 new jobs in Shenandoah County.
MSolar, a Virginia-based startup specializing in the production of solar panels, will invest $23.7 million to establish the vertically integrated solar manufacturing facility in Mount Jackson. The 56,000-square-foot plant will produce high-efficiency solar modules designed for large-scale energy projects.
“We’re building the foundation of a vertically integrated solar manufacturing platform here in Virginia,” says MSolar CEO Michael O’Connor. “This factory represents the first step in our long-term strategy to expand domestic solar production and deliver high-performance technology for energy projects. We believe the future of solar will be defined by performance, domestic content, energy security and top customer service, and MSolar is positioning itself at the center of that transition. We’re excited to grow alongside the Commonwealth as we scale our platform.”
MSolar was founded in 2018 with a goal to produce clean energy through a vertically integrated production model. Its new facility will produce solar glass, silicon cells and heterojunction (HJT) cells, as well as the assembly of completed solar modules. Once operational, company officials say the location is expected to manufacture more than half a million HJT solar panels annually for utility-scale and commercial energy projects across the United States.
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Shenandoah County to secure the project for Virginia and will support MSolar’s job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program.
