Flextronics has dedicated 1 million square feet to create a “Clean Tech Super Site” at its established facility in Port of Tanjung Pelepas, Malaysia. The electronics manufacturing services company already has a range of solar photovoltaics module production capabilities operational at the PTP location, with development plans to increase its site capacity to support 1GW of module production over the next two years.

The company said it expects the Clean Tech Super Site to result in technical advancements for solar products, increased outsourcing among OEMs due to cost and logistics advantages, and overall supply chain optimization.
