Arctech, a global pioneer in solar tracking systems, has
joined hands with ACME Cleantech Solutions, one of India’s leading renewable
energy companies. The agreement includes providing 175 MWp of solar tracking
systems for a groundbreaking Green Ammonia project located in Duqm, Oman.
The trackers will power a 300 MTPD green hydrogen facility,
making it one of the first large-scale hydrogen projects in the Middle East. This
initiative blends solar power with advanced hydrogen technology, setting new
standards for clean energy integration.
Arctech will implement its durable Skyline II Single-Axis
Solar Tracking system. These are specifically designed to perform in harsh
desert conditions, including strong winds (up to 55 m/s), high salinity and
corrosion, and extreme heat and sandy terrain.
Duqm offers ideal conditions for solar power, with exceptionally
high solar radiation—averaging over 5,700 kWh/m² per year. The location’s
climate and open land make it perfect for large utility-scale solar
developments.
The solar trackers are scheduled for delivery in several
stages, beginning in July 2025.
The project supports Oman’s national goal to generate 35–39%
of electricity from renewable sources by 2040. It also strengthens Duqm’s
emerging role as a global hub for renewable energy and green hydrogen exports.
Arctech’s involvement in this project highlights its
expertise in mega-scale solar installations worldwide. The company brings a strong
track record of delivering reliable solutions for challenging environments.
Vipin Aggarwal, VP at ACME, stated that this collaboration
is a key milestone in their green hydrogen journey. He praised Arctech’s advanced
technology and execution capability, especially under coastal and high-wind
conditions.
