U.S. solar company SunEdison plans to build a major photovoltaic installation in Italy with capacity exceeding 60 megawatts as it aims to expand in Italy's booming solar market, a source familiar with the project said.

Top managers of SunEdison, a unit of Silicon maker MEMC Electronic materials Inc, and local Italian authorities will make a presentation for the project.
