Sunpure has secured a contract from South Korean engineering and construction firm Samsung C&T to supply PV cleaning robots for Qatar’s largest solar plant—the industrial cities solar power project (IC Solar).
The contract requires Sunpure to provide intelligent PV cleaning robots for two solar PV plants, with 875 MW of capacity.
Both projects are expected to reach commercial operation at the end of 2024. This is the second large-scale PV project in Qatar which applies PV cleaning robots solutions.
Sunpure will develop PV intelligent cleaning robots and supporting services based on its expertise, high quality and high efficiency for IC Solar projects, and provide higher value to clients with lower LCOE.
In August 2022, QatarEnergy awarded a contract worth $630.33 million to Samsung C&T to build its industrial cities solar power project, which includes the construction of two solar photovoltaic (PV) plants with a combined clean power generation capacity of 875MW.
Samsung C&T is executing the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the solar power plants.
