Community Involvement
Along with being one of the leading companies in the solar industry, Silfab Solar is committed to being a responsible neighbor and fellow citizen. The company has engaged in several community projects and provided power to those most in need with the donation of hundreds of solar panels annually.
- Veteran Support: “Semper Cares” program: For the past 2 years, Silfab Solar has donated solar panels to the Semper Cares foundation. This charity works to give back by installing solar panels for veterans in the United States.
- Educational Support: The ZeNETH Tiny House Project at WWU, was created to provide students with actionable education while addressing local issues through sustainable building and energy design. It is a student-led effort at Western Washington University’s Institute for Energy Studies. Silfab Solar donated solar panels for this initiative in 2019.
- Environmental Support: In Bellingham, WA, Silfab Solar donated 325 solar panels for a high school that would be a sustainable environment that promotes global citizenship and environmental awareness. Along with other community donations, the panels were connected to the utility grid and this array can now produce nearly 100kW of power.
- ALS Community Support: Silfab Solar supports Matt’s Place Foundation in Spokane, WA, a charitable organization that assists people living with ALS and their families. Silfab donated solar panels to help power a new ultimate ALS home for at-risk families battling ALS.
As Silfab Solar seeks expansion in York County, SC, the company has already begun discussions with York Technical Community College and other local entities to prepare the next generation of advanced manufacturing workers. Over time, Silfab will continue to look for additional opportunities to give back and help build a more prosperous and sustainable community in York County.
low traffic impact
Silfab Solar engaged a qualified local engineering firm to examine potential traffic impacts of a new facility. After thorough analysis, it was determined that Silfab Solar’s operations would have little to no adverse impact on local traffic.
Additionally, by combining off-shift schedules for employees and limited truck deliveries during peak travel times, Silfab Solar can further reduce potential adverse traffic congestion in the surrounding community. When compared to a designated distribution center, Silfab Solar's production facility would have a significantly reduced impact on local traffic congestion.
Careful consideration and analysis of local traffic impacts from Silfab Solar’s facility is what the community expects and deserves. Silfab Solar is committed to working with all parties, including York County and the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT), to ensure all relevant information is disseminated to the public.
The following intersections were included in the Traffic Impact Analysis:
- Logistics Land and Baxter Lane
- Central Carolina Parkway and Logistics Lane
- U.S. Route 21 and Central Carolina Parkway
- U.S. Route 21 and Regent Parkway
