SERENDAH (Oct 17): Shanghai-listed LONGi Green Energy Technology Co is setting up a solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing facility in Selangor, with a total of RM1.8 billion capital investment as part of its Malaysian expansion plan.

This marks its first PV manufacturing base in Peninsular Malaysia. The world’s largest manufacturer of solar monocrystalline silicon wafers, cells and modules has a manufacturing base in Sama Jaya Free Industrial Zone, Sarawak — its first facility outside of China — which it established back in 2016.
