SolarCity, the solar energy company chaired by Elon Musk, is planning to build a huge solar panel manufacturing plant in the state of New York. In a statement released yesterday, the company said that it is in talks with the state to build one of the single largest solar panel production plants in the world, and that it also plans open one or more significantly larger plants in subsequent years. The plants will aim to produce enough solar panels to cover growing consumer demand. The plants will build panels that use photovoltaic technology developed by solar panel manufacturing company Silevo.
