Four Textile Factories Develop PTLS Rooftop for Operational Efficiency

Tangerang, Banten (ANTARA) - The Argo Manunggal Group is developing a rooftop solar power plant (PLTS) project with a capacity of 4,463 kWp at four of its textile factories, namely Argo Pantes, Timatex, Damatex, and Kamaltex, as an effort to improve operational cost efficiency.

Managing Director of Argo Manunggal Group, Johny Tjongiran, in Tangerang, Banten, on Tuesday, stated that the shift to renewable energy is an important strategy for the company amid the increasing need for efficient and environmentally friendly energy.

To accelerate the transition to clean energy while strengthening the commitment to national industrial sustainability, the company is collaborating with PT Investasi Hijau Selaras (HIJAU).

“The transition to renewable energy is our strategic step and also responds to global demands for more sustainable industrial practices, especially in the textile sector which has high energy intensity,” said Johny in his statement.

He added that the project is targeted to achieve commercial operation date (COD) in August 2026.

From an environmental perspective, the project is projected to reduce carbon emissions by up to 110,201 tonnes of CO2 or equivalent to planting 293,869 trees over the contract period.

“This contribution is an important milestone in our sustainability journey. It reflects the company’s real commitment to gradually and measurably reducing our carbon footprint,” Johny added.

HIJAU’s President Director, Victor Samuel, added that they are providing comprehensive solutions from planning to system monitoring to ensure optimal project performance.

“We ensure that the rooftop solar PV installation operates safely and reliably with high safety standards and the use of quality materials, such as hot dip galvanized (HDG) structures that are corrosion-resistant. In addition, the system is equipped with real-time monitoring to maintain long-term performance,” he explained.

To ensure the project is completed on time, the company has prepared a dedicated team at each location so that the construction process can run in parallel.

“All main materials, including PV modules and inverters, have also been prepared from the start to minimise potential delays,” he said.
