Two grid-connected, ground-mounted solar PV plants totalling 4.7 MWp at the Buriej (Central Gaza) and Sheikh Ajleen wastewater treatment plants, under Contract 4 of the KfW-funded Gaza Central Wastewater Project for CMWU. Fuel-save controllers synchronise the PV with the GEDCO grid and each site's diesel and biogas generators, cutting the treatment plants' fuel use. MACC carried out the civil works, procurement, E&M installation and commissioning, and operated the plants for three years from August 2020.
Scope of work
- Civil works for both PV fields: ground-mounted, fixed-tilt steel structures facing south
- Supply and installation of about 9,450 modules at Buriej and 3,207 modules at Sheikh Ajleen
- 50 string inverters at Buriej and 17 at Sheikh Ajleen
- Step-up transformers and 22 kV grid interconnection
- Synchronisation with the GEDCO grid, diesel generators and biogas generators
- Module cleaning system, weather stations and SCADA programming
- Testing and commissioning
- Three years of operation and maintenance with annual performance reporting
Technology and key components
- Risen RSM72-6-375M monocrystalline modules, 375 Wp
- Huawei SUN2000-60KTL-M0 string inverters, 60 kW each
- hybrid system of grid-tie inverters with fuel-saving controllers
- First-year output: 5,938 MWh at Buriej (PR 94.5%) and 2,037 MWh at Sheikh Ajleen (PR 92.2%)
