Approximately 300 jobs will be created to build the solar project, known as “Turning Point Solar”. In addition, Prius and Isofoton the solar companies providing the panels, have agreed to locate their North American operations in Ohio, creating an additional 300+ permanent manufacturing jobs.
Turning Point will have a total of 239,400 panels. If operating today, this project would be the largest photovoltaic solar array in the United States.
Woo Hoo!! This is such a hopeful sign. As I watch all the ads about Prop 23,it will be nice to think of this project and take hope that many folks are trying to do the right thing when it comes to renewable energy. Go Ohio.
Go California - No on 23

I'm glad the solar panel manufacturers are creating factories nearby to build the panels, instead of importing them from foreign labor.
I agree, I hope we can encourage "green manufacturing jobs" in California and throughout the country.
