Norwegian silicon ingot and wafer manufacturer NorSun has stated it wants to start a 5-GW ingot and wafer production facility in the United States, and the company can now count on a confirmed wafer buyer: Silfab Solar.

The two companies today announced they have signed a memorandum of understanding for Silfab to purchase wafers from NorSun’s American and European factories that Silfab will turn into cells and panels at its announced 1-GW facility in South Carolina.
