TrinaTracker has announced a 3 GW solar tracker manufacturing plant in Saudi Arabia
It is located in the 3rd Industrial City of Jeddah with commercial operations due in Q1 2025
The project is located on land leased by the Saudi Arabian government’s MODON
TrinaTracker, the solar PV tracker manufacturing arm of leading Chinese solar PV manufacturer Trinasolar, has established its Saudi Arabia factory with a 3 GW annual capacity. It is scheduled to start commercial operations in Q1 2025.
The facility Trina Tracker for Renewable Energy has come up in the 3rd Industrial City in Jeddah on land leased by the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON). It will serve the local market along with the larger Middle East and Africa (MEA) region.
TrinaTracker will manufacture its flagship Vanguard series of solar trackers and smart control systems at the Jeddah factory. It says these are specifically designed to optimize energy generation in challenging weather conditions such as sand, strong winds, and high temperatures common in Saudi Arabia and the surrounding region.
The company claims it will operate the factory with zero pollutant emissions during the production process.
“The establishment of our new TrinaTracker factory in Saudi Arabia is a strategic step in advancing our localization efforts and reinforcing our commitment to sustainable energy solutions,” said Trinasolar’s Global Sales Vice President and MEA MU Head Vincent Wu. “By enhancing our local presence, we are improving service capabilities, increasing delivery efficiency, and ensuring that customers in the region have access to innovative, high-quality solar tracking solutions.”
With this factory as its 4th globally, TrinaTracker expands its manufacturing footprint beyond those located in China, Spain and Brazil. Meanwhile, its parent Trinasolar has plans to strengthen its manufacturing presence in the Middle East with a vertically integrated production facility in the UAE for about 50,000 tons of high-purity silicon, 30 GW of silicon wafers, 5 GW of solar cells, and 5 GW of PV modules (see Trina Solar To Make Big Move To The Middle East).
TrinaTracker is one of the participants of the TaiyangNews Solar Trackers Market Survey 2024, which is available for free download here.
