China-based solar tracker manufacturer Arctech Solar Holding Co. Ltd. has secured 11.457-MW order for its SkyLine II solar tracking system from Israeli telecommunications and energy firm Nextcom Ltd.
This deal marks the company’s first solar tracking project in the country. In its statement, the firm said, “Arctech has already realised a number of projects in the Middle East, including the 607-MW IBRI II project in Oman and the 2.1-GW Al Dhafra PV2 project in Abu Dhabi.” The firm has, however, established branches in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to expand its local presence.
Israel has set a RE target of 30% by 2030, and to achieve this, the nation is rapidly promoting renewable energy. It has a target to build 12 GW of solar plants.
Moreover, Nextcom, dealing in the planning, construction and maintenance of infrastructure and solutions for the communications and renewable energy sector, has signed an ILS-41-million (USD 11.0m/EUR 10.1m) contract in April, with Doral Renewable Energy Resources Group Ltd to build three solar-plus-storage projects at two sites in Israel.
