The proposed manufacturing facility at the McClellan Business Park site will be approximately 100,000 square feet with an annual production capacity of 50 megawatts of Solar Power Inc.'s solar panels. The facility will bring an estimated 120 new construction jobs to the region during the nine-month construction period and 100 full-time skilled workers and office staff to the facility upon completion. Together with Solar Power Inc.'s current manufacturing facility in China, the McClellan facility is expected to double the company's annual production capacity to 100 megawatts.
Solar Power Inc. anticipates receiving the bond proceeds and beginning construction on the new headquarters and manufacturing facility in July. Completion is expected in early 2011.
McClellan Business Park is the 3,000-acre former McClellan Air Force Base, which comprises approximately 8.5 million square feet of buildings on 500 acres. The County of Sacramento selected McClellan Business Park LLC in 1999 to acquire and redevelop the former air base, which was renamed McClellan Business Park in 2001.
