SolarWorld Celebrates the Development of Top-Performing Solar Modules

SolarWorld employees, in a contingent of ten, are celebrating 30 years of developing some of the finest-performing solar modules in the world at a plant that continues to show a pathway for the photovoltaic manufacturing industry in the U.S.

Raju Yenamandra, who had earned an engineering master’s degree from the Florida Institute of Technology in the 1970s, went for work at this particular plant in June 1980. He is among the ten other veteran employees. Yenamandra is now the US sales vice president of SolarWorld.

The Camarillo solar production facility of the company is one of the most enduring facilities in the U.S. and was the first plant to produce in a year, 1 MW capacity of solar energy, receive UL certification for a solar panel and provide performance warranty for 25 years. The company is expanding aggressively this year and for deploying much higher volumes, the Camarillo facility is doubling the size of its sales and marketing unit, as such.
