Arctech Scores New Spring Win - Awarded 500MW Manah I PV Plant in Oman

The Manah I project, with 640MW capacity, is located in Oman's Ad Dakhiliyah Governorate. Affected by the tropical desert climate, the area is frequently impacted by extreme weather like heavy rain, strong winds, and sandstorms. The complex terrain with depressions also presents a need for high requirements on tracker stability and terrain adaptability.

The project adopted Arctech's flagship 1P SkyLine II tracker. With its multi-point drive mechanism and patented triple D torque tube, SkyLine II greatly enhances system stability under desert wind loads. The tracker's wind stow speed reaches 22m/s. Meanwhile, the highly stable torque tube allows a post span of up to 10m, reducing post quantities by around 20% and lowering civil work costs.

To enhance system adaptability and power generation efficiency, Arctech provided customer-centric customized solution designs optimized for the Manah I project's needs.

For the undulating terrain with depressions, four different module heights were customized to better adapt to the site's topography. To boost energy yields, the tracker-bifacial module combination creates a synergistic 1+1>2 effect. Additionally, the purlins underwent bearing capacity optimization for better cleaning robot compatibility, minimizing soiling losses and boosting generation performance.
