Tunisian solar module manufacturer, Ifri-Sol has commissioned its second manufacturing facility, in Kairouan, in northern Tunisia’s inland desert.
In a statement to pv magazine, the company said the new factory, which has a capacity of 150 MW, will produce both mono- and multi-crystalline modules, full black panels and monocrytsalline panels with PERC cells.
The facility will rely on an undisclosed German technology for the production equipment and will assemble modules with solar cells imported from Taiwan. Ifri-Sol invested around €15 million in the construction of the new facility.
With this new factory, the company, which also owns and operates a 50 MW module factory commissioned in 2013 in Enfidha, a town in north-eastern Tunisia, now has an operational production capacity of 200 MW.
