Qcells, a South Korea-based manufacturer of PV cells and modules, has restored solar panel production at its Dalton and Cartersville factories in Georgia. The manufacturing operations had paused temporarily due to a customs clearance interruption affecting imported components required for the facilities’ production processes. According to the company, solar panel output has now returned to normal levels at both Georgia manufacturing facilities. The Cartersville factory began solar module production in April 2025 and is expected to manufacture 3.3 GW of ingots, wafers and cells by 2026. The Dalton manufacturing facility, which opened in 2019, currently produces about 5.1 GW of solar panels annually. Together, the two Georgia factories are expected to employ nearly 4,000 workers and manufacture about 8.4 GW of solar panels annually.
