Suniva sold a majority of its shares to Shunfeng Clean Energy. Shunfeng is the Hong Kong listed company that also purchased Suntech last year. Last summer, SolarWakeup broke the news that Suniva was opening a factory in Michigan making the modules very much US content compliant. With SolarWorld owned by Qatar, Suniva isn’t the first US solar module manufacturer that has an international owner but I think it is the first supplier with a Chinese owner. Let’s see how this evolves but congrats to the team and investors.
