- Arctech supplies 2.3 GW of SkyLine II solar trackers for ACWA Power’s PIF4-Haden project in Saudi Arabia, enhancing solar energy production in harsh desert conditions.
- The project aligns with Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030” initiative, aiming to diversify the economy and reduce carbon emissions by generating approximately 156.189 billion kilowatt-hours over 25 years.
Arctech has reinforced its presence in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region by securing a deal to provide 2.3 gigawatts (GW) of SkyLine II solar trackers for ACWA Power’s PIF4-Haden project in Saudi Arabia.
The agreement with China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd. marks a significant achievement for Arctech in solar technology. The SkyLine II trackers perform well in harsh desert conditions, where strong winds often impact solar energy production.
The SkyLine II system features a 1P solar tracking solution with a multi-point synchronisation mechanism. This technology secures solar panels when wind speeds reach 22 meters per second, ensuring stability and improving energy production over time.
Another key aspect of the SkyLine II design is its modular structure. This feature enhances land use efficiency and allows for greater flexibility in solar panel installations, helping reduce costs for solar plant installations.
The PIF4-Haden project aligns with Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030” initiative, which aims to diversify the Saudi economy and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The project will likely become operational by 2027. Once completed, it will generate approximately 156.189 billion kilowatt-hours over the next 25 years, helping to reduce nearly 147 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
Arctech demonstrates a significant commitment to this project. The company has established offices in Dubai and Riyadh and operates a manufacturing base in Jeddah. These facilities allow Arctech to provide tailored services in the MEA region.
This partnership with ACWA Power marks a pivotal moment for Arctech. It underscores the company’s dedication to renewable energy solutions. As the world moves toward cleaner energy, projects like PIF4-Haden demonstrate the potential of solar technology in mitigating climate change.
The use of advanced solar trackers remains vital for maximising energy output. Arctech’s SkyLine II system adapts to varying wind conditions. This adaptability proves essential for locations prone to strong winds. The multi-point synchronisation mechanism ensures solar panels maintain optimal positioning, even in challenging weather.
Saudi Arabia’s PIF4-Haden project benefits Arctech and represents a major step toward ACWA Power and the region’s energy goals. The project embodies broader efforts to shift toward renewable energy sources. By integrating advanced technologies like the SkyLine II, Saudi Arabia is working to create a sustainable energy future.
The expected reduction of carbon emissions from this project proves noteworthy. By producing clean energy, the project contributes to global climate goals. The project’s scope illustrates the growing role of renewable energy in the MEA region.
Arctech demonstrates leadership in solar technology through its innovative solutions. The company stands poised to play a key role in the energy transition. The SkyLine II solar trackers showcase how technology can enhance energy production, representing a forward-thinking approach to solar energy.
As the project progresses, Arctech focuses on providing support and expertise. The company remains unwavering in its commitment to the energy transition in the MEA region. With this significant supply deal, Arctech stands ready to make a lasting impact on Saudi Arabia’s renewable energy landscape.
