Hyundai Heavy Industries started its solar business in 2005 with production centers in Eumseong, Chungcheongbuk-do(province), as part of a plan to bring new business to the table. In December of 2006, the company acquired ‘CE Mark’, an international safety mark recognized in 28 countries of Europe and the safety/quality marks of the ‘International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)’ recognized in 43 countries around the world.

By the time the second plant was up and operating during the second half of 2009, annual production capacity reached up to 600MW during 2011, where the company now plans to expand up to 1GW in 2012 and 2GW in 2013.
