Dow Chemical has picked Midland, Mich., as its preferred site for a full-scale plant to make its Powerhouse solar shingles. Michigan Economic Development is considering up to $140 million in incentives for the plant, which would make copper indium gallium diselenide photovoltaic panels that can be integrated into rooftops along with conventional shingles.
