Qatar Solar Technologies (QSTec), which specialises in solar solutions, has hosted several representatives from international companies working in the field of solar energy industries.
This comes in the context of the efforts by QSTec management to maximize the added value and achieve the highest returns for the future of the solar industry in Qatar and the Arabian Gulf considering the present challenges, the company said in a statement on Monday.
QSTec owns the first factory in the Arabian Gulf and the Middle East to produce polysilicon - the main unit for building solar panels.
However, the company’s management is seeking to build global partnerships in order to own technologies and solutions for all stages of the production of solar energy units.
QSTec CEO Ibrahim Jaham al Kuwari said the ambition of the Qatar Solar Technologies’ board of directors is to make QSTec the first Gulf and Arab expertise house for solar energy solutions.
“The company would achieve leadership in this field for the State of Qatar in addition to meeting the needs of the local and regional markets,” he added.
QSTec company was established several years ago, but its real production started early this year in 2019 following changes in its administrative structure and the restructuring of its board of directors. As a result, the first piece of polysilicon was produced, representing the first phase in the manufacture of solar energy units and the start of exporting them in fulfillment of supply contracts concluded with beneficiaries.
The solar panels industry undergoes five phases, and the first phase is being produced by QSTec, which seeks as part of its global partnerships to produce the remaining four phases in order to enter the field of competitiveness and maximize the return on investment in the industry to meet the ambitions of its local partners and investors.
At the same time, QSTec witnessed the development of its employee structure and its human resources in a move that Kuwari stressed that it aims to attract competencies and develop human resources in line with the company’s ambitions and goals that it seeks to achieve, adding that the restructuring operations abided by standards and controls that safeguard the rights of employees and meet the ambition of management at the same time.
Kuwari said, “In terms of global partnerships, we are open to all international expertise houses, whether in Europe or east Asia, in order to reach the best practices that ensure global competitiveness.”
