Saudi Aramco's solar power plant in Riyadh
The Solar power park is to be located on the outskirts of Riyadh, near King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC). The project is expected to be completed by September 2011.
Phoenix Solar had installed a PV testing field at Saudi Aramco’s headquarters last year, to analyze various module technologies. The project was completed successfully, and it helped Phoenix Solar win the tender for building the solar park.
