  • The Al-Kharsaa project is the first solar power plant in Qatar, with an overall scheduled power generation capacity of 800MW.
  • The project will certainly be outfitted with Chinese supplier LONGi's Hi-MO 4 bifacial modules as well as a tracking system.

Found to the west of Doha over an area of 10 km2, the Al-Kharsaa project is the initial solar power plant in Qatar, with a complete planned power generation capacity of 800MW. The project will certainly be equipped with Chinese manufacturer LONGi's Hi-MO 4 bifacial modules and a tracking system.

The company asserts that this will certainly be the world's biggest solar plant to combine these two aspects: bifacial modules as well as a tracking system. According to LONGi, its Hi-MO 4 bifacial modules have the complying with functions:

  • Half-cut cell modern technology enables higher power and also lower hot spot temperature as a result of reduced working current
  • Using M6 conventional wafer Part of production line updated to 9BB, additional boost power
  • Unique parallel connection design, more energy result under shading or non-uniform radiation
  • Front/back side maximum static loading 5400/2400Pa, appropriate for tracker
  • Split junction box, Cable Length 300mm (can be Personalized).
  • Placing openings with 400mm range are added to match the horizontal single axis tracker.
  • Glass and also junction box supporting 1500V system.
  • Reliable encapsulation using 2 * 2mm glass.
  • Cell efficiency > 22%, anti-LID, anti-PID, 1st year degradation ≤ 2%.
  • Design of short frame without C side can lower the shading caused by frame.

Sustainability has gone to the heart of Qatar's organizing of the 2022 FIFA World Cup from the extremely beginning and also, once fully attached to the grid later this year, the Al-Kharsaa solar plant will generate power with a capacity to cover 10% of the country's peak demand, specifies LONGi.

The project drops within the Qatari energy sector's effort in the direction of fulfilling its dedication to cut co2 exhausts and increase its investment in clean power, with a view to accomplishing the goals laid out in Qatar's 'National Vision 2030'.

" As a world leading solar innovation business, LONGi's objective is to supply green as well as resource-saving PV power station services to contribute to the coordinated advancement of the economy as well as atmosphere, both in the Middle East and also globally," LONGi stated.
