Q-Cells to build Mexican solar plant
Q-Cells, the world's largest independent solar cell manufacturer, yesterday confirmed that it would invest $3.5bn in Mexico to supply US and Latin America markets with a new generation of solar panels. The investment, which will be the German group's first in the Americas and is thought to be the biggest private investment in Mexico this year, highlights the extent to which companies see the country as an increasingly integral part of the North American manufacturing platform.
