Jordanian royal family use solar on personal residence
The Jordanian Royal Family has installed a solar PV array on their residence. The Hashemites belong to one of the oldest Princely Families in the Arab World and, Prince Muhammad bin Talal is moving forward with the use of solar power as an energy source in Amman. An array has been active since August and has been supplying his Family Residence, the Al Manal Palace, with solar energy . This is generated by 540 polycrystalline modules manufactured by Realforce Power and delivered by three KACO new energy Powador 60.0 TL3 inverters. Amounting to 162 kW of installed capacity, it is currently the largest private array in the Middle East.
Zouhair Kefi, Managing Director of KACO new energy Dubai, praised the good example of the Royal Family, "³Precisely in a region where oil wealth did not only bring good fortune, the PV array on the Al Manal Palace is serving as an example to show that a prosperous future can be attained just as well with renewable energy".
Global Renewable Energy Systems LLC, the installation company, chose Powador 60.0 TL3 inverters for the PV array in the desert climate.
