The solar power plant was developed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) through its subsidiaries Badeel/WEHC, Saudi Aramco and ACWA Power. The consortium partners have entrusted the engineering, procurement and construction contract to the renewable energy division of global construction giant Larsen & Toubro (L&T).

Nextracker is the global market leader in yield-enhancing photovoltaic system technology and solar trackers, recognized for maximum energy production and efficiency, and recognized by independent engineers and independent certification companies. The company's bifacial optimized tracker solution and TrueCapture technology will help increase the power output of the Sudair solar PV plant.

Prior to this project, Nextracker already had strong ties to the Saudi Arabian economy. The company works with local Saudi steel manufacturing partners to install domestic solar projects as well as steel exports to support the development of global solar projects.
In 2021, Nextracker exported more than 20,000 tons of Saudi steel worth more than $30 million to help support the company's installation of solar trackers in many countries.
Nextracker is also using a local Saudi steelmaker to supply all the steel to support the installation of Nextracker solar trackers and technology at the 405 MW Sakaka solar power plant in Al Jouf, which requires 14,000 tonnes of steel.
The Sudair solar PV plant is being developed under Saudi Arabia's National Renewable Energy Program (NREP), with a target of 58.7GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
Installation of the Nextracker solar tracker and technology is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2022.
