EliTe Solar, a Singapore-based solar PV manufacturer, has commenced construction of a 5GW solar production facility in Egypt’s TEDA Suez Economic Zone.
Spanning 78,000 square meters, the plant will produce 2GW of solar cells and 3GW of solar modules, with operations set to begin in September 2025.
The facility will enhance Egypt’s solar manufacturing standards, bolster export capabilities, and contribute to the country’s 2030 goal of achieving 42% clean energy. It is expected to produce 500 million kWh annually, reduce coal use by 307 million tons, and offset carbon emissions equivalent to planting 84 million trees. EliTe Solar’s Chairman, Liu Jingqi, highlighted the company’s commitment to global renewable energy advancement and sustainability.
This initiative strengthens Egypt’s position as a solar manufacturing hub for the MENA region and supports its energy diversification amid recent power shortages. EliTe Solar’s global strategy includes similar hubs in Vietnam and Indonesia, driving sustainable development through advanced solar technologies.
