Mehleb inaugurates AOI’s PV solar panels production line

Prime Minister Ibrahim Mehleb inaugurated Sunday a photovoltaic (PV) solar panels production line, with an annual production capacity reaching 50 MW.

The inauguration took place at the Arab Renewable Energy Company (ARECO) headquarters, affiliated to the Arab Organisation for Industrialisation (AOI).

The AOI glass panels generate electricity through direct exposure to the sun in solar energy farms in the desert, or through small units on the roofs of houses, factories, schools. The energy is then used to generate electricity for lighting columns.

The AOI is cooperating with universal alliances in the renewable energy sector to establish a PV solar plant with the capacity of 100 MW, through foreign financing and at 15% lower prices per KW lower than approved in the tariff, said the AOI head, Abdel Aziz Seif Eldien, during the inauguration.
