SunPower recently announced that they are going to build their third Photovoltaic Solar Cell manufacturing plant in Malaysia.

This new plant is expected to produce more than 1,000 megawatts of cell per year. 1 megawatt is enough to supply 750 homes with power.

SolarPower said they plan to begin solar cell production in 2010. The first phase of construction calls for 14 solar cell production lines. Each line will have a capacity of 40 megawatts per year.
