Indonesia has officially launched its largest integrated solar panel factory, PT Trina Mas Agra Indonesia, aimed at enhancing the nation’s renewable energy capabilities. The factory, inaugurated on June 19 by Indonesian Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, boasts an impressive production capacity of 1 gigawatt (GW) per year, with each solar panel capable of delivering 720 watts-peak.
Minister Kartasasmita emphasized that the establishment of this factory is a significant step towards creating an ecosystem of supporting industries for renewable energy in Indonesia. Located in the Kendal Industrial Estate in Central Java, this facility is a vital part of the government’s ambitious plan to generate 52.8 gigawatts from renewable energy sources between 2025 and 2034, with solar power plants expected to contribute 17.1 GW to this target.
He acknowledged the challenge ahead, stating, “Now our homework is to make our local solar panel products more competitive than imported products.” Minister Kartasasmita expressed optimism that the solar panel industry will evolve from being merely a technology supplier to becoming a vital catalyst for establishing a self-sufficient renewable energy industry in Indonesia.
