In addition to building the arrays, ABB will also supply much of the kit in-house – including inverters, switchgears, controllers and a substation.

The last major turnkey PV order ABB revealed was earlier this year in Bulgaria, where it delivered two arrays totalling 57MW using modules from Swiss-Chinese manufacturer ILB Helios.

ABB has been among the world’s most eclectic solar-energy investors, having taken stakes in a broad range of technologies.
