Nextracker selected by Shanghai Electric to elevate energy output for Middle East’s largest solar park – MEP MiddleEast

Nextracker has entered into a strategic partnership with Shanghai Electric to supply over one gigawatt of its solar tracker technology, NX Horizon, to boost energy production for phase five of Dubai's Mohammed Bin Rashid Solar Park. 

Located 50 kilometers south of Dubai, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Solar Park is owned by the Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) and will be tasked with driving the city towards the ambitious goal of generating 75 percent of its energy through renewables by 2050.

Side-by-side test results published in a recent white paper in collaboration with independent testing provider PV Evolution Labs (PVEL), show that NX Horizon provides an additional 1.02% to 1.67% of DC-side bifacial gains as compared to other 1P single-axis tracker designs.
