Mulk says the plant will have a production capacity of 200 megawatts (MW) and be brought to completion next year in Sharjah, the third largest emirate in the UAE. The factory will generate annual revenues in excess of 1bn dirhams, and act in conjunction with another solar facility Mulk is building in India.

Mulk is currently developing a range of aluminium-based solar panels in partnership with US-based concentrating solar power (CSP) firm Suntrof, which it will commercialise under the brand name Suntrof Mulk Energy.
