Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) is the world’s largest aluminium smelter ex-China.
The work comprises surveying, designing, engineering, supplying of solar panels, civil and structural work, testing and commissioning and also tying the grids.
Minimum 350 W photovoltaic panels are required for covering a surface area of around 37,000 sq m spread over operations areas, car parks and the Alba Club.
