Power-One said it has recently expanded its worldwide production capacity with the initiation of Canadian manufacturing and the expansion of its European plant, which will result in more than 4GW of inverter capacity coming online by year’s end.

The company also plans to launch Chinese production in the fourth quarter with products specifically designed for the requirements of Asian markets.

The estimated cost of the new plant was not disclosed.
