A 60 GW panel manufacturing plant!
China's GCL System Integration is planning to build a 60 GW solar module factory in China's Anhui province, with a total investment of about US$2.5 billion. The project
will be developed in four phases, with the first stage of 15 GW to be launched this year, the company said. It will build the other phases by the end of 2023, depending on sales and production capacity.
GCL SI currently operates five panel plants in mainland China and one in Vietnam, with a combined capacity of 6 GW, according to its website.
