SUNY Polytechnic Institute, in collaboration with a leading EV manufacturer, is revolutionizing high-tech manufacturing with a state-of-the-art 1.4-million-square-foot solar panel facility—the largest in the northern hemisphere. This one-gigawatt (GW) manufacturing hub stems from the manufacturer’s strategic acquisition of SolarCity, a pioneer in high-efficiency solar technology. 

Designed for 24/7/365 operations, the facility supports wafer manufacturing, solar substrate production, and modular assembly—all backed by a new central utility building and campus substation. A 60,000-square-foot shipping and receiving warehouse optimizes material flow, while a 25,000-square-foot engineering operations office enhances workforce efficiency with locker rooms, training spaces, and a cafeteria—supporting a 1,400-person, two-shift workforce. 

From concept to completion, Page collaborated with SUNY Poly, the manufacturer, and the development team, driving innovation through comprehensive planning, design, and engineering. This facility is a catalyst for sustainable energy, workforce development, and industry transformation—setting a new benchmark for scalable, high-performance solar manufacturing.
