Confidential 2 MWp Rooftop Solar EPC, Riyadh Logistics Facility
Project: Confidential, 2 MWp Rooftop Solar EPC for a Large-Scale Logistics and Distribution Facility
Service: Solar
Location: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Client: Confidential, under NDA
Status: Commissioned
Logistics and distribution facilities are ideal candidates for large scale commercial solar because of their expansive, uninterrupted rooftop areas and consistently high daytime energy loads from cooling, lighting, and material handling equipment. For one such facility in Riyadh, operating under a confidentiality agreement that precludes naming the client, FREE energy was selected to design, install, and commission a 2 MWp rooftop solar PV system across the facility’s substantial warehouse footprint.
The engineering team approached the project with a focus on maximizing usable rooftop area while accounting for structural loading limits, shading patterns, fire access pathways, and equipment maintenance clearances, the standard technical considerations that define a well engineered commercial rooftop solar EPC project at this scale. High-efficiency PV modules and inverters were selected to guarantee performance over the system’s operating life, with the installation engineered, procured, and constructed under FREE energy’s full EPC scope, from initial system design through final grid-tie commissioning.
Since commissioning, the 2 MWp system has delivered SAR 592,000 in annual cost savings for the facility, generating 3.29 GWh of clean electricity every year while cutting the site’s carbon footprint by an estimated 2,570 tons of CO2 annually, figures that place this project among the most impactful commercial rooftop solar installations in FREE energy’s Saudi Arabia portfolio. The scale of the savings underscores the strong economics of commercial solar PV for high-consumption logistics and warehouse assets operating under Saudi Arabia’s abundant solar irradiance.
For commercial real estate owners, logistics operators, and warehouse developers evaluating rooftop solar EPC in Riyadh or across the wider Kingdom, this project stands as a flagship reference for how large scale commercial solar can deliver both meaningful cost savings and measurable carbon footprint reduction, backed by FREE energy’s full service solar design, procurement, and construction capability.
