Qatari energy distributor Kahramaa has announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding granting approval for Qatar Foundation’s Solar Smart Grid Project Connectivity to be connected to Kahramaa's main grid.

Speaking to local media Qatar Today president of Kahramaa, Essa bin Hilal Al-Kuwari, said although the energy produced will be “miniscule” this is a step in the right direction for renewable energy solutions in Qatar.

"Approvals shall be for all photovoltaic solar systems in QF that will be connected to the Energy Monitoring Centre," said Al-Kuwari.

Qatar Foundation was responsible for the development of the country's first polysilicon plant for the production of PV cells.
