The project, which is claimed to be Saudi Arabia’s largest ground mounted solar PV power plant when complete, will feature Canadian Solar CS6X series panels.
The company claims that its solar panels, which possess a ten-year warranty and a 25-year linear power output performance guarantee, have passed stringent inspections and testing and have received international quality certificates, including ‘Desert Proof certificate-Blowing Sand Test’.
Canadian Solar chairman and CEO Shawn Qu said that with this contract Canadian Solar became the first solar PV panel manufacturer to supply panels directly to Saudi Aramco for the KAPSARC project.
"Our high quality CS6X series solar panels will be used for the implementation of this project on the grounds of KAPSARC in Riyadh.
"We believe that this flagship project will also be a determining factor to select and qualify technology partners with bankable solar power solutions and proven track record to ensure the successful execution of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious 16GW solar PV energy development program," Qu added.
