US photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturer SEG Solar announced on Monday that it has officially broken ground on its integrated PV industrial park in Indonesia, aiming to establish an annual production capacity of 5 GW for silicon ingots, wafers, cells, and modules.
The project is situated in Kawasan Industri Terpadu Batang, Central Java, with the company having signed a land utilization agreement for the site earlier this year.
The first phase of the development will focus on setting up 10 N-type cell production lines, which are expected to target an annual capacity of 5 GW and be completed by the second quarter of 2025.
SEG Solar plans to collaborate with suppliers of various PV components, including wafers, ingots, junction boxes, frames, and EVA films, to establish manufacturing facilities within Indonesia. This strategy aims to facilitate business development across the entire PV value chain.
Michael Eden, co-founder and general counsel of SEG Solar, highlighted the project's significance, stating, “The solar cells and solar panels produced in this industry park will support the Indonesian government in its carbon emission reduction plan and supply SEG Solar's module factory in Houston, ensuring the traceability and reliability of the supply chain.”
