André-Jacques Auberton-Hervé, chief executive officer of Soitec, said: “Entering into this sales agreement is a major step for Soitec. It demonstrates the interest generated by our CPV technology in the US market. This is also an important milestone in executing Soitec's strategic plan as this agreement will provide significant demand to our US solar manufacturing operation.”

The projects had previously been part of a group of five projects to be developed near Boulevard. One project was sold and the remainder will now be constructed in Imperial Valley instead.
