RENO, NEVADA — Wallace MacDonald Holdings (WMH) proudly announces a strategic partnership with SSOE Group, a globally recognized architecture and engineering firm, to lead the design and engineering of Quantum X, a next-generation photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing facility. Located on WMH’s 1,141-acre Nevada Technology Campus—just off Highway 50, approximately 30 miles east of Reno and 7 minutes from Fernley—Quantum X is poised to set a new standard for integrated clean energy manufacturing in the U.S.
SSOE: Engineering Leadership with a Proven Track Record
With over 76 years of experience, SSOE Group brings deep expertise in the design of complex industrial facilities across the solar, battery, and advanced manufacturing sectors. Their integrated architecture and engineering (A/E) model ensures cohesive project delivery—from conceptual design to execution—streamlining collaboration across disciplines and stakeholders.
For Quantum X, SSOE will deploy advanced project management tools, sustainable design strategies, and their extensive understanding of photovoltaic production to deliver a facility that is efficient, compliant, and future-ready. Their focus on value engineering and cost optimization directly supports WMH’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
Delivering Industrial Scale and Technical Sophistication
SSOE’s portfolio includes more than 30 projects across Nevada and numerous high-performance facilities for solar and battery manufacturing. Their role in Quantum X will encompass full-scope design and engineering for the project's first two phases, which include:
Ingot Wafer Building
Cell Manufacturing Building
Module Assembly Building
Central Utility Building
Bulk Gas Yard
Electrical Yard
From master planning and schematic design to infrastructure coordination and risk mitigation, SSOE’s multidisciplinary expertise will be vital to ensuring WMH’s long-term goals are met while satisfying all regulatory and environmental requirements.
Leadership Behind the Quantum X Project
The SSOE team is led by industry veterans who bring deep experience and hands-on oversight:
