Prince Mohammad University (PMU), located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, implemented a large-scale on-grid solar photovoltaic system as part of its sustainability objectives. FREE energy contributed to the project alongside its local partner, Zamil O&M (ZOMCO), providing technical expertise to help the university reduce reliance on diesel generators, lower energy costs, and decrease its carbon footprint in line with national renewable energy targets.
The installation, with a capacity of 968 kWp, was deployed across suitable rooftop areas and fully integrated into the university’s electrical network to ensure reliable and efficient performance. The system was designed without battery storage, focusing on delivering continuous clean energy directly to the campus load.
Beyond reducing fuel consumption and emissions, the project enhances PMU’s operational resilience by diversifying its energy sources and ensuring more predictable long-term energy costs.
