Solaria has officially unveiled its new manufacturing plant and solar array at the company headquarters in Fremont, California. The opening ceremony was attended by Lieutenant Governor of California Gavin Newsom, EPA Regional Administrator Jared Blumenfeld and several other state dignitaries.

“California has been instrumental in implementing incentives that help foster the growth of solar and other green technologies,” Governor Newsom said. “Solaria is an exemplar of clean tech job growth in California – the kind of growth that can be furthered through effective public-private partnerships. Developing and attracting new manufacturing facilities and jobs to our state is my top priority as we work to reinvigorate job growth and retention.”
