A Vertically Integrated Solar Manufacturing Platform
The MENA Region's Premier Industrial Bridge to Global Markets
Project Helios is a landmark industrial initiative — the first of its kind vertically integrated solar manufacturing platform.
Targeting one of the world’s first large-scale non-Chinese PV supply chains, spanning raw materials to finished modules.
The foundation of every solar cell. Ultra-pure silicon refined through the Siemens process, achieving 99.9999% purity for maximum energy conversion.
Polysilicon is melted and crystallized into monocrystalline ingots, then sliced into ultra-thin wafers — the substrates on which solar cells are built.
Next-generation TOPCon technology cells with superior efficiency and bifacial energy harvesting, exceeding 25% conversion rates.
Specialty anti-reflective coated tempered glass that protects cells while maximizing light transmission for peak performance.
The final integrated product — complete photovoltaic modules assembled, tested, and certified for global deployment.
A core competitive advantage leveraging the MENA region's unique geographic and political position to different international export markets.
Leveraging global partners for expertise, credibility, and delivery excellence.
Building with guidance and high recognition of industry dynamics across all critical domains.

Global Platform Leadership
Achieve full vertical integration and establish independence to become a global leader and platform industrial player.
Project Helios leverages two strategically positioned manufacturing hubs in the MENA region — each selected for distinct competitive advantages that together create an unrivalled global supply position.
The principal cost drivers for module assembly are representing a favorable impact on creating a substantial operating cost advantage for manufacturing in Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
Energy: Both Jordan and Saudi Arabia offer favorable industrial energy costs for energy intensive production and manufacturing relative to global averages.
Labor: Labor costs are competitive and represent a structural advantage. The availability of skilled technical labor at moderate wage levels enhances cost competitiveness.
Provides direct, tariff-free access to the USA and Canada via established Free Trade Agreements. Offers a base of skilled labor and strategic proximity to European and African markets.
Provides access to ultra-low-cost energy and robust infrastructure, critical for energy-intensive processes like polysilicon production. Aligns with Saudi Vision 2030.
From the MENA hub, Helios products reach the world's highest-value solar markets — all with competitive tariff and compliance advantages.
Targeting the world's highest-value markets with a non-Chinese, fully traceable supply chain.
Geopolitical Advantage • ESG Compliance • Trade Access
The global solar industry faces a critical vulnerability: extreme concentration of the entire PV supply chain within a single country. This exposes markets to tariff shocks, forced labor scrutiny, and supply disruptions that threaten the energy transition itself.
Trade wars, sanctions, and shifting alliances create a volatile landscape. Governments worldwide are mandating supply chain diversification. Companies that cannot prove non-Chinese sourcing face exclusion from the fastest-growing markets.
A fully non-Chinese, vertically integrated solar supply chain engineered from the ground up in Jordan and Saudi Arabia — purpose-built to serve the world's most demanding and highest-value markets.
Six strategic advantages that compound to create an unassailable market position.
Project Helios is engineered for export, targeting the world's most valuable and discerning solar markets. Built to meet stringent ESG standards — turning compliance into a competitive advantage.
Products will be fully compliant with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) and benefit from duty-free access via the U.S.-Jordan FTA.
Positioned as an ESG-friendly and "CBAM-ready" supplier. Low-carbon manufacturing footprint avoids potential carbon penalties and meets the EU's stringent ethical sourcing standards.
This key, high-demand market is an integral component of the project's global export strategy.
Leveraging regional proximity and GAFTA tariff exemptions to supply burgeoning local and continental demand, including utility-scale projects and emerging green hydrogen initiatives.
Every core component is anchored by top-tier collaborators — with a model extending to potential JVs and co-investments.
