According to a recent article in the Danville Advocate Messenger, a home-grown business has just announced plans to begin manufacturing solar panels in Danville, Kentucky in mid-December.


The company, Alternative Energies Kentucky, LLC already has nine employees, and intends to expand to about 25 as production gets underway. The company has already secured $1.125 million in state tax incentives.


Company owner Troy Lay of Harrodsburg stated in the article,


"Cleaner energy is just smart, and we are probably five years behind what a lot of the rest of the world is doing with technology like this.â€
