Azerbaijan’s 3 GW solar plan brings manufacturing into its green energy push

The solar panel manufacturing project launched in Alat, Azerbaijan, is bringing a new dimension to the country’s energy transformation. The construction of three production facilities across a 23-hectare area is creating new manufacturing opportunities for Azerbaijan’s green energy industry. In the initial phase, the project is planned to have an annual solar panel production capacity of 3 GW, or 3,000 MW.
