Solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company Sterling and Wilson (SWSL) has commissioned its first 125MW DC solar photovoltaic (PV) project in Oman.

The company will build the PV plant in the Sultanate of Oman, approximately 210km northeast of Thumrait. It claims this will be the biggest single-unit solar park using bifacial modules in the world, as well as Oman’s first renewables-based Independent Power Project (IPP).
