ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Schott Solar has formally dedicated its flagship U.S. manufacturing plant

Company officials and state leaders see the plant as a model as the nation looks to expand renewable energy production and curb emissions from electricity generation.

Udo Ungeheuer, chairman of the board of management for German-based Schott AG, told the crowd gathered at Monday’s dedication that he’s confident the U.S. can become a “solar superpower” with the help of companies like Schott and policies that encourage the use of a domestic renewable resource that’s not subject to the same price fluctuations as fossil fuels.
