Trinasolar, a prominent supplier of smart photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage solutions, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Al-Raebi for Trading and Solar Energy Systems Company to explore collaboration on a potential 1.5GW solar project pipeline in Yemen between 2026 and 2029.

Under the MoU, Trinasolar and Al-Raebi will evaluate opportunities to support large-scale solar projects in Yemen and the wider Middle East. The collaboration includes the potential supply of Trinasolar’s latest TOPCon 3.0 modules, designed to support high-efficiency solar power generation for utility-scale and large commercial energy projects across Yemen and the Middle East.

The agreement expects to establish a framework for further discussions between the two companies as they assess project opportunities, technical requirements and future cooperation models. It reflects the two companies’ shared focus on expanding access to reliable solar power in Yemen, where demand for clean and affordable energy solutions continues to grow.

Commenting on the agreement, Todd Li, president of Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa Region at Trinasolar, said: “This MoU marks an important step in strengthening Trinasolar’s presence in Yemen and supporting the country’s renewable energy development.

“By combining Trinasolar’s PV module technology and global project experience with Al-Raebi’s strong local market knowledge, we look forward to exploring opportunities that can contribute to Yemen and the wider Middle East’s long-term energy security and sustainable development.”

As Yemen continues to face growing electricity demand and the need for more resilient energy infrastructure, large-scale solar deployment is expected to play an increasingly important role in diversifying the country’s power supply. It is considered that the 1.5GW pipeline could support this transition through long-term collaboration between international and Yemeni solar energy stakeholders.
