Qatar's First Utility-Scale Solar Park, Al Kharsaah, Fully Operational
Sungrow, a global leader in inverter and energy storage systems, has successfully commissioned Qatar's first utility-scale solar park, the 800MWp Al Kharsaah Solar Power Plant. The plant, connected to the grid at full capacity, is set to generate substantial clean electricity and reduce carbon emissions.
The plant's construction, initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic, was completed ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. It was inaugurated by Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, on October 18. Sungrow's inverters, designed to withstand harsh desert environments with IP66&C5 protection, played a crucial role in the project's success.
Sungrow's inverter solution, compatible with high-power bifacial modules and smart tracking systems, increases power yield. Upon commercialization, the plant will generate 1.8 billion kWh of clean electricity per year, equivalent to reducing CO2 emissions by 900 thousand tons annually. The plant was constructed by PowerChina Guizhou Engineering Co., Ltd, utilizing Sungrow's 1500V inverter solution. Alvin Shi, Sungrow's Managing Director for the Middle East and North Africa region, was instrumental in the project.
The 800MW Al Kharsaah Solar Power Plant, Qatar's first utility-scale solar park, is now fully operational. Sungrow's inverter solution, proven in harsh desert environments, has contributed significantly to this milestone in Qatar's renewable energy transition.
