“We already have 45 MW contracted from agricultural companies in Mato Grosso and Goiás,” noted João Eugenio Jr., President of S4 Solar. “We have worked hard in the dissemination of technology among these companies in recent years.”

S4 Solar noted that it would be able to fabricate conventional c-Si PV modules as well as glass/glass modules once the line was commissioned.

The company expects production to start ramping at around 2MW per month in January 2015, increasing to 7-8MW per month in the first year or production.

S4 Solar has also teamed with Chinese producer, Linuo Solar for solar cell technology, which is planned to be added to the plant in 2017.

The company plans on obtaining all necessary international certifications to export modules in the future.
