Arctech, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of solar tracking, racking, and BESS solutions, has officially completed construction of Phase II of its Jeddah manufacturing facility, marking another major milestone in its localization and global expansion strategy.
With a total investment of USD 60 million and covering 100,000 square meters, the upgraded facility will raise Arctech’s annual localized production capacity in Saudi Arabia to 15 GW once operational by the end of 2025. The project represents a key step in scaling the company’s commitment to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and the Belt and Road Initiative.
Advancing Localization and Innovation
The ceremony also marked the establishment of the Arctech Value Investment Center, showcasing the company’s dual strategies of “Tracker+” and “Green Power+”. Through integrated technology and scenario-based energy solutions, Arctech demonstrated how its innovations enhance photovoltaic system efficiency and project investment returns.
Arctech plans to localize the production of gearboxes, electrical control systems, and polymer bearings in 2026, while also preparing to introduce cleaning robots and energy-storage solutions into the Saudi market. Within the factory premises, Arctech intends to install a 3 MW rooftop and carport solar system as part of its smart green-building initiative.
Mr. Raad Al Saady, Vice Chairman of ACWA Power, emphasized the significance of the project in his speech:
“For ACWA Power, this moment is especially meaningful because it aligns with our strategic vision of creating local value within Saudi Arabia. The Jeddah factory will directly support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and the Belt and Road Initiative.
It also reflects our strong collaboration with Arctech as a trusted technology and manufacturing partner. Manufacturing closer project sites reduces logistics costs, improves responsiveness, and enables more efficient solar power deployment. Most importantly, it creates employment, develops local skills, and strengthens Saudi Arabia’s supply chain ecosystem.”
Mr. Cai Hao, Chairman and President of Arctech, highlighted the milestone as “a symbol of deep friendship and collaboration between Arctech and ACWA Power, and a bridge linking China, Saudi Arabia, and the world.”
He added,
“Looking ahead, Arctech will expand local manufacturing to include tracker core components, communication-control units, cleaning robots, and storage systems. Jeddah will not only serve as a manufacturing base but also as an innovative and talent-development hub for the region. Together with our partners, we aim to open a new chapter of shared growth and sustainable development”
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Wang Qimin, Consul General of China in Jeddah, noted that Arctech’s continued investment enhances service capacity and competitiveness in the Middle East market, while symbolizing “the deepening industrial and green-development cooperation between China and Saudi Arabia.”
