Italy’s Ecoprogetti Starts 50-MW PV Production in Oman

Italy-based solar machinery manufacturer Ecoprogetti srl said on Friday it has launched a 50MW photovoltaic (PV) panel production line in Oman for a domestic client.

The facility was installed on behalf of Oman-based Sheida Industries LLC, which now has a production base in Sohar City, Ecoprogetti said in a social media post.

The new manufacturing line will make TOPCon panels of 450 W, 550 W and 590 W in size.

“We are thrilled with the results and confident in the bright future this brings to Oman: a future powered by the sun,” the Italian firm said.

Sheida Solar was on the list of exhibitors in the Oman Sustainability Week held in Muscat in April. The company is expected to deliver its products to Oman’s small and medium-scale PV segment, local media reports.
