Punj Lloyd-built QSTec polysilicon plant starts production

By Niranjan Mudholkar,

Added 01 August 2017

This is the Qatar’s first polysilicon plant and the largest in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region

Polysilicon is the key raw material used in 90% of the world's solar modules.

 

The new facility uses environmentally friendly technologies, next generation reactors, energy efficient cooling systems and advanced waste treatment facilities that recycle excess gasses and water for reuse in a closed loop system that reduces costs.

 

In addition to this, QSTec's new facility has a 1.1 megawatt solar installation that includes a ground mounted solar farm as well as rooftop and solar car parking shades and is a showcase of sustainability.
