Noribachi launches solar firm (Albuquerque)
The Noribachi Group is launching a new company in Albuquerque to build solar panels.
The new firm, Solar Distinction Inc., says it will employ about 300 workers within two or three years, eventually growing to about 500 employees. The plant is set to open by year-end 2010, with enough operating capacity to produce 25 megawatts of solar panels, said Noribachi Partner Joe Gillach. It will expand to a 50-megawatt capacity within two years.
“We’re in negotiations now, on multiple fronts,” Gillach said. “We’re looking at land to build on as well as existing buildings for the plant. We’ll announce where it will be located within 30 days.”
