Under the contract, Trina Solar will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the project to be developed at Fresh Fruits’s stores and warehouses.
According to the company, construction of the project is scheduled to start in March 2014 and is expected to end in third quarter of 2014.
The solar project will feature Trina Solar TSM-PC05A Honey 260 Wp modules that adapt well to dry and high temperature conditions prevalent in the Middle East, the company said.
Trina Solar chairman and CEO Jifan Gao said, "Oil- and natural gas-importing countries like Jordan are vulnerable to fluctuations in global oil and natural gas prices.
"Solar energy provides Jordan with a viable alternative, and we see huge potential for growth in this market."
Fresh Fruits general manager Omar Hashlmon said, "The rooftop solar power project will be of great benefit to our business.
"This project will significantly contribute to a reduction in our annual electricity expenditure. It will also be a sound investment for our company due to the expected quick recovery of the initial investment thanks to favorable renewable energy policies enacted by the local government."
