SunEdison, LLC based in Beltsville, Maryland, is a global leader in the downstream segment of the solar energy market. SunEdison’s mission is to make solar services a viable and rewarding alternative to traditional energy sources. As a developer, financier, system integrator, and owner/operator of solar power systems, SunEdison takes a fundamentally different approach to solar energy. Its customers pay only for the energy produced by SunEdison’s solar power plants. If SunEdison doesn't deliver the solar power, its customers don't pay.
SunEdison has assembled a team of seasoned solar and energy industry experts to lead the company and the global solar industry toward “grid parity” – i.e., a solar power price point that is competitive with retail utility electricity.
On November 23, 2009, SunEdison was acquired by MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc., a global leader in the manufacture and sale of wafers and related intermediate products to the semiconductor and solar industries. MEMC has pioneered the design and development of wafer technologies over the past 50 years. With R&D and manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Europe and Asia, MEMC enables the next generation of high performance semiconductor devices and solar cells. With the acquisition of SunEdison, MEMC is now a developer of solar power projects and North America's largest solar energy services provider.
