Solar Philippines Power Project Holdings is set to export P10 billion worth of solar panels produced from its Batangas manufacturing facility to China next year, a top executive said. Solar Philippines also aims to construct 1,000 megawatts of solar projects in 2018 of which half would be in Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, India, the US and sub-Saharan Africa. Solar Philippines now produces solar panels in Batangas province. Solar Philippines entered solar manufacturing last year, after SunPower, a US solar company, shut down two of its factories in the Philippines. Solar Philippines assembled a team of Filipinos experts in manufacturing solar panels in line with world-class standards and passed the requirements of international certification bodies.
