A 3 MW grid-connected photovoltaic plant
Array design, electrical configuration and layout follow the licensed capacity and the 45,000 m² licensed footprint exactly. Energy estimates come from PVsyst 7.4 simulation using Meteonorm 8.1 climate data for the precise site coordinates.

| Distance to grid connection | About 6 km to the medium-voltage network |
| Topography | Flat with a gentle southward slope, no shading obstacles |
Phase one, 3 MW on 45,000 m² to the west; the remainder is reserved for phase two to a combined 7 MW.
Site engineering considerations
Corrosivity
Gulf proximity places the site in class C4/C5; hot-dip galvanised structures at 80 µm minimum with stainless fixings.
Dust
3% annual soiling loss assumed, managed by a cleaning programme of at least eight cycles per year.
Geotechnics
Rammed pile foundations; pull-out testing and soil boreholes are required before construction.
Physical security
Full perimeter fencing, site lighting, CCTV and an intrusion alarm system; included in the capital estimate.
Water supply
No surface water on site; wash water from a licensed well or tanker into a 50 m³ tank.
Far shading
Effective horizon height averages 1.4°, costing about 0.16% of yield.
Row shading
At an 8 m pitch, about 1% inter-row shading loss is included in the model.
From array to grid
Inverter output is stepped up through two 1,600 kVA transformers to 20 kV and carried by an approximately 6 km line to the regional medium-voltage network.
