The two partners plan to build the factory in Port Elizabeth, in another sign of South Africa’s growing status as a renewable energy hotspot.
The plant will have an initial annual production capacity of 150MW and is scheduled to begin output in the second quarter of 2014, supporting more than 200 jobs in its first year.
A statement said the factory could swell to up to 600MW to meet demand growth in South Africa and the wider region.
