The Electric Butterfly™
CALIFORNIA

The Electric Butterfly™ prototypes find their home in an 150 acre almond orchard in Chico, California. The Electric Butterfly™ is a stand-alone two-axis tracking solar array system that includes 72 solar modules. It is rated at approx. 11kW.
The Electric Butterfly™ is designed to withstand 140 m.p.h. hurricane force winds, tidal surges, sand storms, class 5 earthquakes and grass fires. It features a custom designed gearbox, built using U.S. steel.
JLN SOLAR INC. believes in American manufacturing and American workers. JLN SOLAR INC. envisions the development of a 1 GW U.S. manufacturing plant. The plant will produce the Electric Butterfly™ solar array, including its custom designed gearbox and controller, as well as JLN SOLAR INC.'s unique CIGS thin film solar modules. In full scale operation such a facility would create close to 1,500 jobs.
JLN SOLAR INC. plans to build an initial 1 GW manufacturing plant, including:
-
CIGS solar module manufacturing factory
-
Solar array manufacturing factory
-
Gearbox manufacturing factory
-
Assembly building for the wiring harnesses and controllers
-
