The largest solar panel production facility of its kind in the Western Hemisphere is continuing to add staff at its $157 million factory in Dalton, Georgia, which began production six months ago.

The Korean solar panel maker Hanwha Q CELLS is conducting a hiring fair Thursday in Dalton, Georgia, as it adds another 50 jobs at its 200,000-square-foot plant in the Carbondale Business Park in Dalton. The plant already employs 600 workers and is expects to reach full production – and to conduct a ceremonial ribbon cutting – in the next month.

“Our first products shipped from the factory this February,” said Scott Moskowitz, director of strategy and market intelligence for Hanwha Q Cells. “All production lines are currently running and we expect to be at full 1.7 gigawatt annual capacity in the very near future,”

The Georgia Department of Labor is partnering with Hanwha Q Cells USA Inc. to host a job fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today at the Dalton Career Center at 1406 Chattanooga Ave. The solar maker is looking to fill immediate openings for manufacturing operator positions, a logistic specialist, and a purchasing specialist.
