In recent years, Oman has emerged as one of the most promising solar markets in the Middle East, thanks to its abundant solar resources and supportive government policies. With multiple large-scale PV projects set to launch in 2025, the demand for large-scale PV power plant equipment is surging. This article analyzes solar irradiation and tender policies in key regions like Dhofar, recommends large-scale PV power plant equipment suitable for high-humidity environments, and helps investors and EPC contractors optimize procurement decisions.
Oman’s Solar Market Overview: Solar Resources & Policy Support
Regions like Dhofar and Duqm in Oman receive over 3,000 hours of annual sunshine, with solar irradiance reaching 2,200 kWh/m²—making them ideal for large-scale PV power plant equipment. To accelerate its energy transition, Oman’s government has introduced the"2040 Energy Strategy," targeting 30% renewable energy in its power mix. Several GW-scale solar projects are currently under tender, including:
(1) Ibri II 500MW solar Plant (scheduled for grid connection in 2025)
(2) Dhofar 200MW solar + Storage Project (to commence in 2025)
Key Policy Incentives:
(1) 100% foreign ownership allowed, with no local content requirements.
(2) Long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) ensure stable returns.
(3) Tax exemptions: No import duties on PV equipment until 2026.
Equipment Recommendations for High-Humidity Environments
Coastal areas like Dhofar face high humidity and salt corrosion, requiring large-scale PV power plant equipment with enhanced durability:
1. Inverters: Corrosion-Resistant + Efficient Cooling
(1) Recommended Model:Huawei SUN2000-196KTL-H3 (IP66-rated, moisture-resistant coating)
(2) Advantage: Multi-track MPPT minimizes PID effect caused by humidity.
2. Mounting Systems: Anti-Corrosion + Modular Design
(1) Hot-dip galvanized steel (≥80μm zinc layer) + aluminum alloy fasteners to prevent electrochemical corrosion.
(2) Recommended Solution:Hengwang Group’s modular mounting system, designed for rapid installation in Oman’s dusty conditions.
3. Solar Pile Drivers: Corrosion-Resistant + High Power
In Oman’s soft coastal soil, large-scale PV power plant equipment for pile driving must balance efficiency and stability. The Hengwang Group HWL500R Solar Pile Driver stands out with:
(1) YC85kW high-power engine, optimized for high-temperature, high-humidity conditions with 15% better fuel efficiency.
(2) Salt-resistant hydraulic system, featuring stainless steel components for extended durability.
(3) Steel-track chassis, ensuring stability on sand, marsh, and other challenging terrains.
Procurement Strategy: How to Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)?
(1) Localized Supply Chain:Prioritize suppliers of large-scale PV power plant equipment with warehouses or agents in Oman to shorten lead times.
(2) Bulk Purchase Discounts: Centralized procurement of inverters, mounts, and other key equipment can reduce costs by 10-15%.
(3) After-Sales Support: Choose suppliers offering 24/7 response services (e.g., Hengwang Group’s global service network).
Conclusion: Seize Oman’s Solar Opportunity with Reliable Equipment
Oman’s booming solar market in 2025 presents vast opportunities for suppliers and EPC contractors of large-scale PV power plant equipment. Whether inverters, mounting systems, or pile drivers, all equipment must be optimized for high humidity. Hengwang Group, a leading supplier of large-scale PV power plant equipment in the Middle East, has become a preferred choice for multiple Oman projects, thanks to the corrosion-resistant and high-performance HWL500R Solar Pile Driver.
