TMAI is a result of collaboration between Trina Solar Co., Ltd, PT Daya Sukses Makmur Selaras (a subsidiary of PT Dian Swastatika Sentosa Tbk, part of Sinar Mas), and PT PLN Indonesia Power Renewables. The plant employs industry-leading 210mm n-type TOPCon technology and has annual production capacity of up to 1 GW, making it the largest solar panel factory in Indonesia. It not only brings Trinasolar's state-of-the-art Vertex N TOPCon solar panels to local market, but also creates up to 640 high-skilled jobs.
During the ceremony, TMAI entered into module supply agreements with VENA and GCL, securing nearly 400MW of module orders for three major projects of Hijaunesia Group A. This landmark signing not only signifies the official commencement of TMAI's operations but also powerfully reinforces the Indonesian market's unwavering confidence in TMAI's industry-leading manufacturing capabilities.
"TMAI is not only a technology supplier, but also a catalyst for the creation of a sovereign national solar energy ecosystem," said Dr. Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita.
"This modern and intelligent factory by TMAI is yet another milestone in the deepening economic and trade collaboration between China and Indonesia," remarked Ms. HE Yanling. "It not provides a significant boost to local employment and industrial advancement but also underscores Indonesia's immense potential as a prime investment destination."
With the abundant solar resources in tropical regions, PV market in Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, has witnessed explosive growth. Indonesia has officially launched the 2025-2035 Electricity Plan Supply Business Plan(RUPTL), aiming to add 42.6GW of new renewable energy capacity, with 17.1GW from solar PV. Trinasolar will proactively integrate into the local new energy industry chain, and make dedicated efforts to support Indonesia's goal of energy sustainability.

We remain dedicated to advancing the energy transition in Southeast Asia and beyond through our exceptional products and services."
The inauguration of TMAI marks a pivotal milestone in the company's localization strategy for Southeast Asia.
