Company officials said Runergy is in the middle of a strategic expansion into the North American market and is working to deliver solar solutions globally.

“We are thrilled to start producing solar modules right here in Alabama,” said General Manager Jet Li. “This factory not only brings new jobs and opportunities to the area but also represents our commitment to advancing renewable energy and supporting America’s clean energy goals.

“We couldn’t be prouder of our team’s hard work.”

The plant is on Moores Mill Road at U.S. 72 in east Huntsville and is the first solar panel production facility of its kind in Alabama.

“With the increasing demand for solar energy in the U.S., We aim to meet the country’s renewable energy targets by producing our solar modules locally,” said Dr. Jusong Wang, managing director of Runergy Alabama. “Runergy Alabama will reduce lead times, minimize reliance on overseas suppliers, and provide customers with more reliable, cost-effective access to our solar technology. Runergy Alabama’s mission is to deliver its cutting-edge, high-efficiency N-type solar modules to meet the growing demand for clean energy solutions.

“As part of its long-term strategy, the company is dedicated to enhancing its production capabilities while maintaining rigorous quality standards and sustainability practices.”
