This is not just a business endeavor; it is a commitment to U.S. national security and a sustainable future.”
Solarix is a solar energy firm that is dedicated to manufacturing clean energy solutions for the U.S. and international markets. The company serves the residential, commercial, and utility sectors.
“The partners and investors were familiar with Virginia,” noted Megan Lucas, CEO and chief economic development officer of Lynchburg Regional Business Alliance. “They were also looking for a building of this size, a large existing manufacturing facility, and that’s what brought their eyes to our market.”
