A U.S. solar manufacturer that went bankrupt in 2017 said it will restart its Georgia factory thanks to new federal incentives.

Suniva said Wednesday that it plans to hire 240 people and will resume making solar cells at its factory in the Atlanta suburb of Norcross. The company expects production to resume by spring of 2024.

The company said it’s using a $110 million investment it received from Orion Infrastructure Capital earlier this year to buy new equipment and expand its production capacity.
