Hanwha Solutions has forged a global solar energy alliance with Microsoft (MS) of the United States. The company will supply solar power generation modules to an energy conversion project promoted by MS and design and construct the solar power plants.
Hanwha Solutions announced on Jan. 26 that it signed a strategic partnership agreement with Microsoft to expand the use of eco-friendly energy and reduce carbon emissions.
Under the agreement, Hanwha Solutions will participate in MS’s energy conversion project beginning from 2023. The Korean solar power giant will supply more than 2.5GW of solar power modules to the solar power plants promoted by MS, and carry out engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) work for the construction of the solar power plants.
Hanwha Solutions will elevate the annual solar power production capacity of its Dalton, Georgia plant in the United States from 1.7GW to 5.1GW by the end of 2023. It plans to create Solar Hub in Cartersville by the end of 2024 to produce 3.3GW of ingots, wafers, cells, and modules annually. Solar Hub will be built with an investment of 3.2 trillion won.
Hanwha Solutions also plans to build a solar R&D center in the United States. Its R&D centers in Pangyo, Korea and Thalheim, Germany are developing next-generation solar technology.
“We expect that our collaboration with Hanwha Solutions producing solar products in the United States will play a major role in Microsoft’s rapid transition to eco-friendly energy,” said Brad Smith, president of Microsoft.
