ELITE Solar's Landmark Development in Egypt
On January 25, 2026, ELITE Solar announced the official opening of a state-of-the-art 5GW photovoltaic manufacturing facility located in the economic zone of the Suez Canal, Egypt. This notable project marks a significant advancement in ELITE's global expansion strategy, emphasizing the company's commitment to enhancing its solar production capacity worldwide.
The newly established facility is designed with an impressive capacity breakdown of 2GW dedicated to high-efficiency solar cells and 3GW for solar modules. This complete integration creates a robust production platform that caters to clients across various sectors, including utilities, commercial enterprises, and industrial markets globally.
Aimed at reinforcing Egypt's commitment to renewable energy and industrial development, the inauguration ceremony was attended by Egyptian Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly. His presence underscored the project's importance and its contribution towards local job creation, while simultaneously strengthening the region's role in global clean energy supply chains.
On January 23, numerous stakeholders including regional clients and strategic partners were on-site to tour the production lines for N-type solar cells and modules. During this visit, fruitful discussions revolving around supply chain coordination, production scheduling, local sourcing, and long-term collaboration were conducted. Acknowledging operational reliability and scalable manufacturing remained at the core of ELITE Solar's strategy.
Arndt E. Lutz, CEO of ELITE Solar USA, commented, “This facility significantly bolsters our global production presence and affirms our dedication to providing reliable, market-ready solar solutions. By integrating advanced N-type technology with disciplined production techniques, we ensure our customers receive consistent quality and enduring reliability across multiple markets.”
The Ain Sokhna plant embodies a crucial element of ELITE Solar’s international growth strategy, intertwining technological leadership with localized manufacturing in strategic regions. This approach allows ELITE Solar to swiftly adapt to customer demands throughout the MENA (Middle East and North Africa), Europe, and North America.
As ELITE Solar expands its manufacturing capabilities, it further solidifies its standing as a trusted global partner in the widespread adoption of renewable energy.
