800MW Solar Power Plant In Qatar Deploying LONGi Modules Connected To The Grid

An 800MW solar power plant in Qatar has been connected to the grid at full capacity, with all modules provided by LONGi. The project launch ceremony took place in Qatar on October 18. LONGi was invited to the ceremony as the project’s exclusive module provider.

Located to the west of Doha, over an area of 10 km2, the Al-Kharsaa project is developed by a consortium of Total and Marubeni and is Qatar’s first solar power plant. Equipped with LONGi Hi-MO 4 bifacial modules and a tracking system, the plant is the world’s largest PV project to combine these two elements.

The project, part of Qatar’s “National Vision 2030”, is expected to provide an annual 1.8 billion kW/h of clean energy, meeting the electricity consumption of some 300,000 households and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 900,000 tons. “We are honored to assist Qatar in developing this landmark project, and fully support the country’s commitment to carbon neutrality,” commented Jia Chao, President of LONGi’s MEA and CA region.
