GameChange Solar to Supply Saudi solar plant trackers for 1.29 GW Plant
In a significant move for the Middle East’s renewable energy sector, GameChange Solar has announced it will supply its advanced solar tracker systems for the massive 1,290 MWp (1.29 GW) Bisha Solar PV plant in Saudi Arabia. This landmark project, located in the Asir Province, marks another major step in the Kingdom’s ambitious energy transition goals.
The project is being developed by the leading Saudi developer, ACWA Power, with L&T serving as the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) partner. The selection of GameChange Solar underscores the growing demand for robust and efficient technology capable of performing in the region’s challenging climate.
Advanced Technology Featuring Saudi solar plant trackers
At the heart of this partnership is GameChange Solar’s innovative Genius Trackerâ„¢ 1P system. This single-axis tracker is specifically engineered to maximize energy generation while ensuring long-term durability in harsh desert conditions.
The systems deployed at the Bisha plant will feature GameChange Solar’s proprietary suite of technologies, including:
* SmartStowâ„¢: A crucial feature that protects solar panels by stowing them in a safe position during high-wind events.
* PowerBoostâ„¢: Optimizes power production by adjusting panel orientation for maximum energy yield.
* WeatherSmartâ„¢: An intelligent system that uses real-time weather data to proactively adjust the trackers, enhancing both energy output and structural safety against extreme weather like hurricanes and intense heat.
These features are essential for maintaining the plant’s efficiency and longevity in a region known for its extreme climate, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective energy supply.
Bolstering Saudi Arabia’s Renewable Vision with Saudi solar plant trackers
The Bisha Solar PV Independent Power Plant (IPP) is a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s strategy to diversify its energy mix and increase its renewable energy capacity. This 1.29 GW facility will contribute significantly to the national grid, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions.
For GameChange Solar, a top global provider of solar tracker solutions, this project further solidifies its presence in the rapidly expanding Middle Eastern market. The company has a proven track record, having delivered over 53 GW of systems worldwide, and is recognized for its emphasis on rapid installation, operational reliability, and cost-efficiency. This collaboration with ACWA Power and L&T on a gigawatt-scale project highlights the trust placed in their technology and execution capabilities.
As reported by the Middle East Solar Industry Association (MESIA), this project is a testament to the powerful synergy between international technology providers and regional energy leaders in accelerating the global transition to clean energy.
