The Oman Ibri photovoltaic project is located in Ibri City, Zahir Province, northern Oman, with an installed capacity of 607MWp. It is the largest photovoltaic project in Oman at present, and the largest photovoltaic project in Oman's "National Energy Plan". The project covers an area of 1,154 hectares, which is equivalent to the size of 1,600 standard football fields. It is very shocking to overlook from the air.

The construction of such a large-scale photovoltaic power station in the desert not only has to face the high temperature weather of nearly 50 ℃, but also the complex terrain and geological conditions and the frequent occurrence of sandstorms also bring challenges to the project construction. The Oman Ibri photovoltaic project is the first large-scale photovoltaic project in the world to use cleaning robots on the tracking brackets. The maximum wind speed is designed to reach 45m/s. The ground is paved with PVC reflective materials, and many technical indicators have reached the international leading level. This project solves the adaptability design of the photovoltaic tracking system and the automatic cleaning system for the first time, realizes the mutual coordination between the robot and the tracking bracket, greatly improves the photovoltaic power generation efficiency and reduces the operation and maintenance cost, leading the mainstream trend of large-scale power station operation and maintenance in the Middle East.

This super "sun flower" composed of 1.5 million components deeply integrates the concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature and the project construction. After the project is put into operation, the annual power generation capacity is 1,598 gigawatt hours, which can meet the annual demand of 50,000 local households. At the same time, it can reduce carbon emissions by 340,000 tons per year, which is of great significance for addressing climate change and achieving carbon reduction goals. It is important to improve the peak-shaving capacity of power grids during peak periods and alleviate power shortages in Muscat and northern Oman during peak periods. significance.
