BEIJING/SINGAPORE/JAKARTA – On the outskirts of the Indonesian city of Semarang in Central Java, a new factory is cranking out solar cells and assembling solar panels with the help of robots, while autonomous carts whizz around ferrying parts and components. The Trina Mas Agra Indonesia solar panel plant, operational since October 2024, is a US$100 million joint venture between China’s Trina Solar, Indonesian conglomerate Sinar Mas and Indonesian state utility PLN.
