Applied Materials recently announced its solar fab2farm model offering a blueprint for affordable clean energy and local economic development.
Below are some highlights about Applied’s solar fab2farm model:
This approach has many broader benefits - a self-sustaining economic engine that delivers affordable solar to the rate payer, jobs for the community, R&D opportunities for local universities, increment tax base for local government, progress toward meeting RPS goals.

Below are some highlights about Applied’s solar fab2farm model:
- The fab2farm model is a solar deployment model that links the complete utility-scale solar ecosystem—from the manufacturing of the panels, to the building of the solar farm, to the local community—to drive down the cost of solar electricity, while generating billions of dollars in economic development.
- Fab2farm would locate an Applied Materials SunFab™ manufacturing factory in communities across the U.S., with the intent of placing the panels produced by that factory directly into utility-owned projects.
This approach has many broader benefits - a self-sustaining economic engine that delivers affordable solar to the rate payer, jobs for the community, R&D opportunities for local universities, increment tax base for local government, progress toward meeting RPS goals. Delivers clean, reliable energy source and reduced GHG emissions for decades to come.
