Ecoppia boosts Mideast presence with new Egypt solar project

Ecoppia, a pioneer and world leader in robotic solutions for photovoltaic solar, has signed an agreement with an international energy company for the deployment of its robotic solutions in BenBan Solar Park.

 

Ecoppia, a pioneer and world leader in robotic solutions for photovoltaic solar, has announced a new project in one of the world's largest solar parks in BenBan, Egypt.

 

BenBan solar park, located near the southern Egyptian city of Aswan, has a total capacity of 1,650 MWp corresponding to an annual production of 3.8 TW, and is spread across nearly 40 km. 

 

While enjoying very high radiation rates, the facility also suffers from major soiling and desert sands, requiring frequent cleaning to ensure steady and optimal production, said the company in a statement.

 

Ecoppia's robotic solutions were proven to be extremely effective, cleaning nearly 10 million solar panels every night in harsh climatic conditions, spreading across roughly 2,500MW of installations globally.

 

Not only effective, the robots were also proven to be fully safe and reliable on all module types, to include glass on glass and bifacial.

 

"We are excited to take part in the sustainability revolution in the Middle East," said Jean Scemama, CEO of Ecoppia.
