According to industry insiders SolarWorld plans to expand their production in the US in the coming years up to 1GW per year. That would apparently include at least module production. The expansion of their module production is already in a planning stage and will be located at the Hillsboro facility.
What remains unclear is if the expansion would include crystal growing and wafering. The latest information hints at an outsourced polycrystal production (SolarWorld news page) which would limit SolarWorld's ability to switch to diamond wire saws.
