Australia Builds Gigafactory to Produce 1.9 Million Solar Panels Annually
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

📰 The quick summary: Australia’s only solar panel manufacturer Tindo Solar is building a gigafactory that will produce 1.9 million panels annually by 2026, strengthening the country’s renewable energy independence and creating hundreds of new jobs.
📈 One key stat: The new gigafactory will produce 7,000 solar panels per day, helping meet Australia’s need for 22,000 daily panel installations to achieve its decarbonization goals.
💬 One key quote: “Our vision is to start production in mid-2025 and manufacture 7,000 panels per day at full capacity”
1️⃣ The big picture: Australia’s only domestic solar panel manufacturer, Tindo Solar, has announced a massive US$100 million investment to build a gigafactory capable of producing 1.9 million panels yearly. The project aims to restore energy sovereignty and strengthen Australia’s renewable energy industry from within. Expected to begin production in mid-2025, this facility will become the largest ever built in Australia, exceeding even BP Solar’s previous operations. The initiative arrives alongside the launch of Tindo’s new Walara Series, featuring advanced n-type technology with bifacial design that captures light from both sides of the panel.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: This ambitious project creates hundreds of direct jobs while establishing a local industrial ecosystem for component production that’s currently almost entirely imported. The new gigafactory strengthens Australia’s energy independence, reducing reliance on international suppliers during times of geopolitical uncertainty. Australian consumers benefit from potentially more affordable prices with appropriate incentives and greater energy security. The advanced Walara panels, with their 21.8% efficiency and robust design for extreme conditions, offer reliable performance specifically engineered for local environmental challenges.
3️⃣ What’s next: Tindo Solar plans to begin production at the gigafactory by mid-2025, ramping up to full capacity as quickly as possible. For complete success, the project requires government stimulus initiatives and the creation of a national supply chain for raw materials. The company hopes this facility becomes the first step toward building a competitive and sustainable solar industrial chain throughout Australia.
