With approximately 3,300 employees, the SolarWorld group is one of the world’s largest solar energy businesses. SolarWorld’s family of companies dedicates itself exclusively to the business of solar energy, combining all stages of the photovoltaic value chain, from the raw material silicon to turn-key solar power plants. SolarWorld operates production facilities in the United States and Germany as well as sales offices around the world.

In 2006, SolarWorld acquired the manufacturing base of Shell Solar, the largest manufacturer of solar electrical products in America since 1977. This operation, which included sites in Camarillo, Calif., and Vancouver, Wash., previously operated as Arco Solar and Siemens Solar. SolarWorld is the largest photovoltaic manufacturer in the United States with over 500 Megawatts of production capacity.

The SolarWorld group offers products ranging from wafers and cells to PV modules for grid-coupled and grid-independent power generation to complete solar power kits and systems. SolarWorld Sunmodules™ repeatedly have proven to produce more energy per rated kilowatt than other major brands.

Greenspring has been a SolarWorld partner from our first system: a 1.05 KW PV array installed on a rowhouse in Baltimore. Since then,Greenspring Energy has installed hundreds of SolarWorld solar electric systems and was named an Authorized Commercial Installation Partner for 2011.
