Two new solar panel factory to be developed

• According to the first annual report of the Commissariat for Renewable Energies and also Energy Efficiency (Cerefe), 2 new factories for the manufacturing of photovoltaic panels will certainly quickly see the light of day in Algeria. These installments developed by Milltech and also Zergoun Green Energy can provide 260 MWp of solar panels per year.

Algeria is established significant means to accomplish its energy objectives, significantly the production of electrical power from solar energy. The North African nation will certainly quickly have 2 brand-new photovoltaic panel production plants. The Commissariat aux énergies renouvelables et à l'efficacité énergétique (Cerefe) noted this in its first annual report lately released in Algeria.

According to Cerefe, the factory incomplete in the industrial zone of Boukherana, near Chelghoum El Aid (400 kilometres from Algiers), will certainly be appointed before the end of 2020. It belongs to Milltech which prepares to provide 100 MWp of solar panels annually. "Thanks to our ability to produce conventional and high voltage (1500 V) modules in monocrystalline as well as polycrystalline technologies (PERC modules to come), glass-glass and also bifacial modules, along with half cut cell modules, our company believe that our product series, happily made in Algeria according to the strictest industry standards and TUV accredited (common 61215), can conveniently satisfy and also exceed all of our customers' expectations, both in Algeria as well as abroad," explains the Algerian company.

A manufacturing facility in Ouargla

An additional manufacturing facility is incomplete in the wilaya of Ouargla, with an expected capacity of 160 MWp of photovoltaic panels annually. Both manufacturing facilities will have a production ability of 260 MWp of photovoltaic panels each year. A total amount of 4 photovoltaic panel production systems will provide the Algerian as well as sub-regional market.

At the same time, a factory is being integrated in Algeria for the production of solar panels as well as other tools, especially the setting up frameworks for the modules. This various other project is being established within the framework of a joint endeavor between the Algerian company SPS (Système Panneaux Sandwichs) and Qi-Energy, a business based in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

These efforts support the Algerian federal government's power plan which intends to generate 27% of the nation's power from sustainable sources by 2027, i.e. a manufacturing capacity of 22 000 MW.
