Solar Semiconductor manufactures a variety of reliable, environmentally friendly and commercially viable solar photovoltaic (“PV”) products and solutions. The high quality PV modules offered by Solar Semiconductor provide electric power for residential, commercial, industrial and public utility applications in markets worldwide.

The Town is proud to welcome Solar Semiconductor to Oakville. This international investment will provide Canadian manufactured solar photovoltaic (“PV”) products and solutions for the growing green energy market.

Solar Semiconductor opened its first manufacturing plant near Hyderabad, India. The campus spawns over 50 acres with state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and a world-class testing laboratory for internal certification and qualification. Since its incorporation in April 2006, Solar Semiconductor has quickly become a long term, supplier of choice for many of the world’s largest systems integrators and wholesalers.

Solar Semiconductor will be establishing its first North American manufacturing plant in Oakville in 2010. Over the coming months, the company will be hiring local personnel for their Oakville facility. In 18 months, Solar Semiconductor plans for additional expansion quickly becoming one of Oakville’s top 10 private employers.

Solar Semiconductor’s investment in Oakville fits well with the town’s economic development strategy to attract companies in the knowledge-based and advanced manufacturing sectors.
