‘We welcome Ebon Solar. This is a company that wants to diversify its business mix and sees New Mexico as the place to develop its innovative solar technology and build a skilled, high-paid workforce,” said Melinda Allen, president and CEO of the New Mexico Partnership, the nonprofit private marketing arm of the New Mexico Economic Development Department.
