Production at the 100MW line is expected to start before the end of this year.
Solarge’s module range claims to be 100% recyclable and is made without PFAS materials that would otherwise make them repellant to water, grease and dirt. Instead Solarge uses fibre-reinforced polymers which, the company claims, saves up to 75% less carbon during the manufacturing process and produces modules that weigh up to 75% less than conventional panels.
Solarge intends to ramp up production of the manufacturing line to 380MWp by 2024.
