In a major boost to northwest Ohio’s position as a budding center of low-cost solar-panel production, First Solar Inc. said yesterday that it will more than double the size of its operations in Perrysburg Township and add 134 jobs.
The project, the value of which wasn’t disclosed, will include a second research facility to serve company operations worldwide, more production capacity, and three
additional buildings on the firm’s campus in Cedar Business Center in the Toledo suburb.
The 500,000-square-foot addition is to be completed by spring 2010.
The new jobs are in addition to the 700 people now employed by the company.

Two other manufacturers have said they will begin producing panels in the Toledo area using thin-film technologies, and a fourth firm has a research operation here.
