Solyndra LLC Chief Executive Officer Brian Harrison, who plans to invoke his Fifth Amendment right to silence at a congressional hearing tomorrow, was vocal about the company’s prospects in meetings with some of the same lawmakers two months ago.
“We’re growing, doubling in size year-over-year, and on track,” Harrison, 54, told reporters in Washington on July 21 after conveying a similar message to members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which was investigating a $535 million U.S. loan guarantee the company was awarded in September 2009.
