Gstar, a leading manufacturer of photovoltaic equipment , has taken a significant step in its ambitious expansion project in Indonesia. The company has shipped its first batch of critical equipment for the construction of its new solar wafer plant , located at the Greenland International Industrial Centre (GIIC) in Kota Deltamas, Indonesia.
Key equipment for solar wafer production
This shipment includes monocrystalline growth furnaces , which employ the Czochralski technique, and their automated control systems. This equipment is key to ensuring the quality of the monocrystalline silicon rods, which will be used in the manufacture of high-efficiency solar wafers .
With an estimated annual production capacity of 3 GW, the plant has the potential to transform the solar energy market in Southeast Asia , with a focus on the production of 182 mm and 210 mm silicon wafers.
Strategic location and growth in the industry
Located in one of Indonesia’s most dynamic industrial zones, the Gstar plant benefits from its proximity to global giants such as Coca-Cola, Hyundai, and Suzuki. This, in addition to strengthening Gstar’s competitiveness in the supply chain, also strengthens the region’s industrial ecosystem.
Indonesia, for its part, is consolidating its position as a key destination for renewable energy investment, with projected solar capacity growth of between 350 and 550 GW by 2050. This expansion positions Gstar as a key player in the nation’s energy transition, providing essential materials for photovoltaic cell production.
Project acceleration
The project continues to progress as planned, and the plant is expected to begin trial production in May of this year. Gstar has pursued its “1+N” strategy, with service and manufacturing centers in various global locations, including Singapore, Thailand, Laos, and the Philippines, supporting its international business operations.
The integration of smart manufacturing will also enable greater production efficiency and continued capacity expansion.
