KENNEWICK -- A Kennewick company is making strides in the solar energy business.

Infinia is completing designs on what is easiest described as solar dishes.

The machines track the sun throughout the day, turning the suns energy into electricity for our use.

Vice President of Engineering Terry Smith said once additional units are made, they'll be able to expand their selling markets.

"That is will allow us to finish the product development and start production in selling the product out to a market in the US and in Spain" said Smith.

In order to ramp of production, Infinia is building a new production facility in Kennewick.

Work is being completed on a 27,000 square foot facility near Vista Field.

The company is also expected to increase their workforce to about 150 employees by next year to meet expected product demand.
