ALEC Energy & Solar Earth launch world’s ‘toughest solar on earth’ in GCC

The UAE-based solar energy company ALEC Energy has partnered with Canada-based Solar Earth, to introduce the world’s most rugged pavement-integrated photovoltaic (PIPV) solution touted as the ‘Toughest Solar on Earth’ to the region.

This will enable governments and private enterprises to confidently carry out wide-scale solarization of every hardscape infrastructure such as pavements, roads, plazas, and parking lots, turning these into clean energy-generating assets.

Solar Earth panels are skid resistant and unlike their traditional counterparts, they have been designed to be extremely rugged and able to withstand up to 5 tons of weight and harsh weather conditions. Consequently, these panels enable public and private sector entities to take traditional sunk costs infrastructure and provide a return on investment, by transforming these into dual-use, revenue-generating surfaces.

GM – ALEC Energy “Today, together with Solar Earth, we are redefining what photovoltaic solutions are capable of and thereby enabling an entirely new range of possibilities for their deployment. In doing so, we are helping usher in a new era of solar energy production, one where it is no longer restricted to large solar farms and commercial facilities alone, but can be seamlessly incorporated into the vast amount of commercial, municipal, residential, and other infrastructure that
