Construction of a new integrated solar manufacturing facility officially began on 4 September 2026 at MozParks Beluluane Industrial Park near Maputo.
Developed by Lumira Moz Energy, a Chinese company investing in Mozambique, the project is designed to establish a vertically integrated industrial base for the production of photovoltaic cells, precision cutting of silicon wafers and manufacturing of high efficiency solar modules. The production capacity in each case is not stated. The facility will occupy approximately 1.6 hectares within Beluluane Industrial Park and will be developed in two phases, with investment in the first phase alone exceeding US$ 10 million.
Rather than importing only finished solar equipment, the project creates the potential for more of the manufacturing process to take place in Mozambique, supporting industrial diversification, specialised skills development and the growth of a domestic clean energy supply chain. It is unknown what brand the products will be marketed under.

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Minister of Economy Basílio Muhate said the Lumira Moz Energy project aligns with the government’s vision for economic diversification and for strengthening Mozambique’s position as an industrial hub for energy products and technologies. He added that Lumira had chosen what he described as the best location in the country for this investment, citing MozParks Beluluane Industrial Park’s infrastructure and regulatory framework to support industrial development.
