Luke Hawkins, Divisional general manager, Capral Aluminium (ASX:CAA) states that the company has signed a memorandum of understanding with Sun Drive Solar to strengthen the Australian solar manufacturing supply chain. This strategic move builds upon a previous agreement with Windows Solar, aiming for a sustainable domestic supply chain.
Luke highlights that both Capral (ASX:CAA) and Sun Drive are focusing on automating the manufacturing process, using advanced technology like robotics to enhance efficiency. The collaboration strives to boost local solar PV module production competitiveness while reducing environmental impact.
Future expectations from these memorandums include increased sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) outcomes.
