The S$2.6bn plant has a potential output capacity of 740 megawatts (MW) of wafers, 550MW of solar cells and 590MW of modules.
The company is optimistic about the demand for photovoltaic (PV) systems, which will witness a “significant growth until 2020".
The Singapore plant, located at Tuas, is the world’s biggest solar cell complex and could support close to a four-fold increase in the group’s output volumes if market conditions allow, the company says.
