Germany-Based RCT Solutions Plans Manitoba, Canada, Solar Panel Plant

07/31/2023
Germany-based solar technology provider and manufacturer RCT Solutions plans to establish manufacturing operations in Manitoba, Canada. The $3 billion project is expected to create 8,000 jobs.

The new fully integrated solar panel production plant will service the North American market with a total annual production capacity of 10 gigawatts, or 10,000 megawatts, of solar panel power.

“Today marks a transformative milestone as we embark on a journey to revolutionize the solar energy landscape,’’ said Peter Fath, founder and CEO, RCT Solutions. ‘’With our cutting-edge solar panel manufacturing facility, we are poised to produce a staggering two million solar panels annually, right here on domestic soil. This is not just about numbers; it is about powering a brighter, greener future for our planet right here in North America. By harnessing the potential of clean energy, we are proud to announce that our factory will single-handedly reduce carbon emissions by a remarkable 14 million tons every year. It is a testament to our unwavering dedication to combat climate change and leaving a positive legacy for generations to come.”

The Province of Manitoba will assist RCT by supporting applications under various federal and provincial economic stimulus programs for research and development, training incentives, manufacturing and green energy equipment investments, and construction costs.

“This plant would be the first of its kind in the world with a fully integrated manufacturing process when it is completed, noted Provincial Economic Development, Investment and Trade Minister Jeff Wharton said. “ Our government has worked tirelessly to create a business environment in which a global company like RCT Solutions can thrive and grow, and we’re pleased to begin the process of welcoming them to our province.”

RCT Solutions GmbH, serves as a strategic partner and one-stop PV solutions partner for renewable energy investors. The company provides full value chain support, conceptual & basic design layouts of factories, site master plans and feasibility study services.
