Is SolarSpace launching a 5GW high-efficiency solar cell plant in Laos?
SolarSpace, a China-based PV cell and module manufacturer, announced the first phase of a 5GW high-efficiency solar cell plant in Laos, giving momentum to its overseas production capacity. SolarSpace marked the start of the first phase of its 5 GW high-efficiency solar cell plant in Laos at a recent launch event in the Saysettha Development Zone.
Why is SolarSpace launching a solar project in Laos?
The company said it has an experienced production and management team in Laos, and those people will play a leading role in the development of the nation's clean energy industry. Laos is a new manufacturing location for SolarSpace, which has traditionally been more active in solar projects in the country.
Is there progress in the solar sector in Lao PDR?
Limited progress has been made in Lao PDR's grid-connected solar sector. Only one rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system (of 236 kW capacities) has been installed at Watty airport. Wind power potential assessment for Lao PDR has not yet been conducted.
Does Laos have a solar sector?
The news is also a positive development for the Laos solar sector. Last year, the country began construction on its first large-scale solar farm, a 50MW project in the south-east province of Attapeu, and the government has already made plans to expand its solar sector further.
Is Laos a good country to invest in solar?
The government aims to increase the contribution of renewables to 11% by 2025, and while SolarSpace did not specify where its Laos-made modules would be shipped, the presence of a major manufacturing facility in the country is an important step in demonstrating the viability of Laos as a country capable of significant solar investment.
Where are solar cells made?
The company’s production base in Laos plans to build 9GW of battery plates and 3GW of high-efficiency solar cell panel assembly equipment, on a construction site of about 32 hectares, which is the largest solar cell equipment production centre in the world after China.
