This project adopts a 6.25 MW block design, requiring fewer inverters and transformers to cut initial investment. Sungrow’s 6.25 MW and 3.125 MW MV turnkey solutions integrate the inverter and MV Station, simplifying transport, installation, and reducing costs. With commissioning completed before delivery, on-site debugging is minimized, while the inverter’s reactive power support removes the need for an SVG, further lowering LCOE.

With a feed-in tariff of just 1.69 US cents/kWh—a record low at the time—the project leverages abundant sunlight and sand’s high reflectivity by using bifacial PV modules and a single-axis tracking system to lower LCOE and boost revenue. JinkoSolar Swan bifacial modules with Cheetah cell technology and DuPont™ Tedlar® backsheets deliver up to 25% rear-side gain, while Nextracker’s NX Horizon™ further improves DC-side output by 1.02%–1.67%, enhancing overall generation and ROI.

The 900 MW Maktoum PV plant in Dubai faces extreme desert conditions with sandstorms and temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F), demanding exceptional inverter reliability. Using bifacial modules with single-axis trackers further increases heat dissipation requirements. Sungrow’s central inverter, with a divided-cavity design and fully sealed IP65-rated electronic chamber, employs high-efficiency heat exchangers for cooling, enabling long-term full-load operation in harsh environments and ensuring stable revenue generation.
