Indonesia’s ‘Largest’ Vertically Integrated Solar PV Industrial Park

Texas, US-based solar PV manufacturer SEG Solar has started construction of what it says will be the largest vertically integrated solar PV industrial park in Indonesia with 5 GW of annual production capacity for silicon ingots, wafers, cells and modules.  

The PV complex is coming up in Kawasan Industri Terpadu Batang, Central Java for which it signed a land utilization agreement in May 2024 (see US Company Advances On Indonesian PV Manufacturing Plans).  

Under phase I, the plan is to build 10 cutting-edge n-type solar cell production lines with an annual capacity of 5 GW. Its completion is scheduled by Q2 2025.

SEG said it will cooperate with other PV component suppliers, including wafers, ingots, junction boxes, frames, and EVA films, to establish manufacturing facilities in Indonesia, to help develop a complete PV value chain in the country.

“As a crucial part of SEG's global strategy, we are committed to building the Indonesian facility into a highly efficient and competitive vertically integrated photovoltaic industrial park, optimizing the upstream and downstream layout of the N-type industry chain,” said SEG Solar Co-founder and General Counsel Michael Eden. “The Solar cells and solar panels produced in this industry park will support Indonesian government in its carbon emission reduction plan and supply SEG Solar's U.S. in Houston module factory, ensuring the traceability and reliability of the supply chain.”  

In August 2024, SEG Solar commissioned its 2 GW n-type solar module manufacturing factory in the US (see 2 GW Solar PV Module Manufacturing Factory Commissioned In US).
