Nextracker to supply solar trackers for the first phase of 1.5 GW solar project in Saudi Arabia
Nextracker has been selected to provide its smart solar trackers and TrueCapture technology for phase one of the Sudair Solar PV Plant (450 MW), currently being developed on a 30-square-kilometer site southeast of Al Majmahh in Riyadh Province, Saudi Arabia.
The Nextracker bifacial optimized tracker solution and TrueCapture technology intend to boost the energy generation profile of the 1,500 MW Sudair Solar PV Project. Once completed, the project has the capacity to generate enough energy to power 185,000 homes and reduce carbon emissions in the Kingdom by 2.9 tons annually.
Sudair Solar PV IPP Project is developed by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia through its subsidiary Badeel/WEHC, Saudi Aramco, and ACWA Power. The consortium partners have awarded Larsen & Toubro (L&T) the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction contract for the project.
The installation of Nextracker's solar trackers and technology is expected to start in the second quarter of 2022.
