Thanks to its naturally high insolation levels and a government determined to diversify its energy base with renewable alternatives to cater for a rapidly-increasing population, the Saudi Arabian solar sector is a strong growth market at present.

And Solar Frontier has already begun taking advantage of this gap in the market by installing a number of projects in the kingdom. Among these are the recently-announced 500kW power plant at Farasan Island and the 10MW North Park Project, both of which are equipped with Solar Frontier’s proprietary CIS technology.
