Antaisolar, a solar energy mounting system company, has partnered with Saudi Arabia’s Bahra Electric to set up a new factory in Jeddah. The new factory will focus on producing solar photovoltaic (PV) mounting systems for utility-scale solar projects. Antaisolar, company known for digital PV mounting solutions, couples its expertise in automation and efficient solar mounting systems, with Bahra Electric’s strong local presence and industry connections. This collaboration will support solar project developers and contractors by addressing various challenges, such as design optimization, logistics, and operational uptime.
Antaisolar and Bahra Electric have set specific production goals for the factory in Jeddah. By 2025, the factory aims to reach an annual production capacity of 8 gigawatts (GW). This capacity is expected to increase to 15 GW per year by 2026 and then to 24 GW per year by 2027. These targets align with Saudi Arabia’s increasing focus on renewable energy infrastructure as part of its broader national development plans.
The joint venture also aims to provide a level of local content for solar projects, which can be beneficial in scoring for public and private sector projects requiring locally sourced materials and solutions. The new factory’s local content capability will contribute to enhancing Saudi Arabia’s renewable energy sector and provide solar mounting solutions to support large-scale projects across the region.
Antaisolar’s Vice President, Gabriel Wong, emphasized the strategic value of this collaboration, noting that Bahra Electric’s strong regional expertise and resources will play a critical role in achieving the partnership’s goals.This venture is part of the ongoing development in the renewable energy sector within Saudi Arabia.
