Miami-Dade Gets first Solar PV manufacturer soon according to Beacon Council

At a recent "key ceremony" hosted by the Beacon Council, Miami-Dade County's economic development corporation, one of the companies honored is a solar photovoltaic manufacturer.

The firm, Cuantum, is a transplant from Spain and this would be their first facility in North America.  It would also be the first PV manufacturer to set up shop in Florida.

The company projected a $5 million investment in the production facility just west of Miami International Airport and is expecting to hire over 100 new employees as they start production in early 2010.

Additional details when I get them, but this is big news - green solar jobs right here in Miami.
