Spire has announced it will provide the Ravensburg (Germany) company, MAGE SOLAR (MAGE) with a PV module assembly line to be established in Dublin, Georgia. This automated line will assemble laminates into completed modules at the rate of 50MW per year.

"MAGE has been successful importing modules into the U.S. for a range of system projects. The manufacturing line that we are providing allows them to better control pricing for increased market penetration especially by adding significant Made in the USA value," said Roger G. Little, Chairman and CEO of Spire Corporation.

"Their factory will be able to provide up to 350 American jobs over five years."

"We are extremely excited about the launch of the production line at our North American headquarters in Dublin, Georgia. In Spire, we found a partner who perfectly understands our needs and the importance of successfully introducing our U.S.-made MAGE SOLAR POWERTEC modules to the PV market," MAGE SOLAR's CEO, Norbert Philipp, commented.

The first high-quality modules are expected to roll off the production line in late April and are part of MAGE SOLAR's complete solar system product line.
