Algeria Solar Photovoltaic Panel Assembly Factory

Among other operational solar module manufacturers in Algeria include French-Algerian company Aurés Solaire, and Algerian electronics manufacturer, Condor Electronics. Zergoun Green Energy (ZEG), has launched a PV module manufacturing factory in Ouargla, in the homonymous province of southern Algeria.

From pv magazine France Algerian holding Zergoun Green Energy has inaugurated a 200 MW solar module factory in southern Algeria. Located in the Sahara Desert province of Ouargla, the factory is equipped with lines provided by Spain's Mondragon Assembly and has an annual production capacity of 200 MW.

Algeria's Hamdi Eurl won two 80 MW plants and domestic PV panel maker Zergoun, alongside Ozgun, secured 80 MW in Guerara. The 19 projects represent an investment of €1.8 billion ($1.96 billion) and the solar power prices proposed by the bidders ranged from €0.54/W to €0.81/W, with an average price of €0.625/W.

In the Sidi Bel Abbès industrial park, the factory for solar modules will also have its own research and test institute in order to continuously improve the efficiency and quality of the solar modules and to integrate the latest technical findings. This will permanently secure Algeria's position as Africa's leading solar center.

Around 150 direct jobs will be created at the solar panel manufacturing facility. Algerian company, Zergoun Green Energy (ZEG), has launched a solar PV module manufacturing factory in Ouargla, in the homonymous province of southern Algeria. The facility will have a solar module production capacity of 180 MW annually.

Algeria's Minister of Energy Transition and Renewable Energies, Benattou Ziane, celebrated the launch of the facility saying it will contribute immensely to the country's solar energy programme called “Solar 1,000 MW”. The North African country recently issued a tender for the procurement of 1GW of new solar energy capacity.
