California-based DC Power is the largest privately held distributor of renewable
energy solutions in the Western Hemisphere. The company works through a network
of more than 1,500 qualified dealers and installers to provide photovoltaic
systems for commercial, residential and municipal applications in North and
South America, said DC Executive Vice President Daniel Marino in a news release.
“Entering into a supply contract with Schott Solar is an important step for
the growth of DC Power,” Marino said. “Schott Solar modules are well
respected for their durability and efficiency.”
The modules will be supplied from Schott factories in Massachusetts and New
Mexico. The company is investing $100 million to build a 200,000-square-foot
facility at Mesa del Sol in south central Albuquerque. The plant will open early
next year. It will make photovoltaic modules and receivers for concentrating
solar thermal power plants.
