The plant is "configured for growth to respond to the expected expansion of the U.S. solar market in the coming years," Suntech said in a statement.
Solar companies have struggled over the past 12 months as a glut of supplies on the global market has depressed prices, but Suntech's rival Yingli Green Energy Holding Co Ltd's better-than-expected third-quarter results last week indicated the sector may be rebounding.
