This is the first phase of a global project with a total capacity of 1.2GW that BIN OMAIRAH HOLDING has decided to carry out in a very strategic location in the northwest of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Tabuk Industrial City (just 200 km from Saudi Arabia’s $500 billion futuristic megacity, Neom) via its wholly owned subsidiary, Masdar Solar, established in 2018 to localise PV technologies in Saudi Arabia.

The automatic line, which manufactures state-of-the-art modules, will be in full production by the end of this year. “With this project, we expect to become one of the most important manufacturers in the MENA region. To achieve this, we will cover both the local and global market from here” said Fahad Bin Omairah, CEO of BIN OMAIRAH HOLDING.

MONDRAGON ASSEMBLY, more than a Technological Partner

A multidisciplinary team has been set up to ensure the most successful implementation of the project, and the positive results reflect the success of the project. “More than 20 years of experience in the PV sector has made us realise that our customers not only need a solution provider, but also a partner who will accompany them throughout the life of the project, especially at the beginning stage. Moreover, given the exponential evolution of both cell and module technologies, we have the capacity to provide them with technological support and advice so that none of our customers are left behind” added Igor Herrarte, International Sales Manager at MONDRAGON ASSEMBLY.

MONDRAGON ASSEMBLY supports different entities and public institutions in the kingdom to increase the level of PV localisation which is perfectly aligned with the KSA’s ambitious plans regarding the implementation of renewable energy. ‘’We strongly believe that this project is part of the ambitious plan to encourage technology transfers in the renewable energy industries and the location of significant parts of the renewable energy value chain in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to align with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. Effective collaboration between the different players in the PV sector, coupled with government policies that prioritize renewable products, is expected to enhance the local PV industry and drive development” said Haythem Zhioua, Business development manager for the MENA region at MONDRAGON ASSEMBLY.
