NorSun was thrilled to announce the selection of Tulsa, Oklahoma as the site for the new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at the prestigious SelectUSA 2024 summit in June. This milestone marks a significant step forward in NorSun's expansion strategy, and was made possible thanks to the tremendous and unwavering support received from the state of Oklahoma, the city of Tulsa, and our valued partners across the United States.
“Our business plan has an ambitious timeline, so we knew we needed a partner who can work fast and efficiently to meet the critical need of American-made energy,”said NorSun CEO Erik Løkke-Øwre. “Oklahoma impressed us even before our selection journey – its robust clean energy, manufacturing ecosystem and workforce development programs were already on our radar, and its competitive business offerings and site acceleration options solidified our decision.”
NorSun has since the startup in 2007, been the leading western producer of monocrystalline ingots and wafers for ultra-high efficiency solar cells.
NorSun has identified a greenfield Oklahoma site of approximately 60-acres. Construction is expected to begin late 2024, subject to final approvals, necessary permits and final incentive agreements, and it’santicipated that ingot and wafer production will come online in 2026.
