Oman Using Bifacial Solar Panels In Giant 500 MW Solar Farm

Oman may not be the first country you think of when you think of solar power giants, but just like everywhere else in the world, solar simply makes sense — and the country certainly has a lot of solar resources. Oman is building a giant 500 megawatt (MW) solar farm, but it’s not just any 500 MW solar behemoth.

Less than a decade ago, a 500 MW solar power plant would have been the largest in the world, and there’s close to 0% chance it would have used bifacial solar panels, but things change. N-type TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) high-efficiency bifacial solar modules are the tech that has been ordered for this plant, and the modules are now being delivered. China’s Jolywood (Suzhou) Sunwatt has shipped its TOPCon bifacial solar panels to ACWA Power’s Oman Ibri II project.
