Once Phase 2 construction is over, the existing plant will be altered to produce only solar cells, enabling upcoming expansion of cell manufacturing. Both the new solar module plant and the existing factory are situated on a 600-acre land owned by the PANJIT Group, parent company of Aide Solar.
Director of World Sales and Marketing at Aide Solar, Eddy Fang, commented that the consolidation and expansion of Aide Solar’s manufacturing capacity would have a huge effect on the company’s deliverance of alternative energy products. The company’s huge production capacity would enable the company to react quickly to the robust demands in the US and international solar markets, he added.
