According to the environmental impact assessment report, the plant will use advanced and environmentally-friendly technology imported from Europe to make solar panels.

The environmental impact assessment report indicates that hazardous waste generated from the project would be around 25,000 kilos per year, including fluorescent bulbs, various types of active glass, discarded printer ink and hard metal packaging waste hard plastic packaging waste.

The entire amount of solid waste will be sorted by the investor for recycling or handed over to a waste management unit, meanwhile, the normal industrial waste will be stored in a 200-square metre waste warehouse before being treated.

In cases where emissions exceed permitted standards, the plant will be halted for being checked to ensure safety to the environment.

Work on the project is scheduled to be started next year and completed in the third quarter of 2025.
