The success of our approach speaks for itself. We have developed solar systems installations across Qatar and these are increasing in size and number with each passing year.
As a Middle Eastern country, Qatar was already a perfect place for a large-scale solar power plant, but what about the expertise needed to develop and operate it effectively? This is where Marubeni, with its 20-plus-years of experience as an IPP, came in.
Al Kharsaah contributes to the sustainability roadmap of Qatar, demonstrates once again TotalEnergies'' ability to support producing countries in their energy transition by combining natural gas production and solar energy to meet the
The Al-Kharsaah solar power project applies the latest solar energy technologies, including dual panels, to save space and optimise electricity production by capturing the direct sun rays, as well as the rays reflected on the ground.
In a desert environment like Qatar''s, these elements can drastically reduce the efficiency of solar panels if not regularly cleaned. The system operates every four days, ensuring that the panels remain in optimal condition for power generation.
With more than 15 years of research and development with the board members in the solar photovoltaic industry, QSE has become the first vertically integrated PV manufacturer in the MENA region, producing silicon ingots, silicon wafer, PV
Qatar plans to boost solar power to 30% of its electricity production by 2030 as part of a sustainable energy transition. Learn about the initiatives and projects, including the Al Kharsaah Solar PV Power Plant,

Qatar’s Al Kharsaah solar power plant is Marubeni’s third large-scale solar project in the region, following the company’s first two large-scale solar projects in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman. What does the Al Kharsaah solar power plant mean for Qatar?
Qatar’s solar energy future is steadily developing. With average daily sunshine of around 9.5 hours, low-cloud cover conditions and plentiful space, there is great scope for small, medium as well as large-scale solar power projects in the country.
This Marubeni investment-backed plant, which was inaugurated on October 18, is the first large-scale solar power generation project in Qatar, with a maximum output of 800 MW. The power generated will be sold to Qatar’s General Electricity & Water Corporation Kahramaa under a long-term contract of 25 years.
The power plant can supply 10% of the country’s peak energy consumption and help to avoid 26 million tonnes of carbon emissions over its operational life. It also reduces the reliance on gas for power generation, diversifying Qatar’s power sources. Total and Marubeni won the solar project through a competitive tender process.
With average daily sunshine of around 9.5 hours, low-cloud cover conditions and plentiful space, there is great scope for small, medium as well as large-scale solar power projects in the country. Qatar’s global horizontal irradiance is 2,140 kWh per m 2 per year which makes it well-suited for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.
Currently, efforts have focused on developing solar capacity in the country through research centers, universities, utilities and pilot projects, and a number of institutions including Kahramaa, Qatar Foundation, QNFSP and QSTP are actively working on this front.
