Solar-Based Multi-Generation System (MGS) for Combined Power, Cooling and Desalination in Saudi Arabia
NET Group of Companies developed and implemented an advanced solar-based Multi-Generation System integrating electricity production, heat recovery, cooling generation and desalinated water production within a single optimized platform.
The system was engineered to operate in off-grid conditions and is primarily dedicated to district cooling applications without access to the electrical grid, significantly reducing dependence on conventional power sources.
Designed performance parameters:
- Cooling capacity: 1,226 kW
- Electrical capacity: 500 kW
- Solar field capacity: 600 kW
- Distillate production: 2,160 l/day
By integrating solar energy with advanced sorption and thermal technologies, the solution substantially reduces electricity consumption for cooling production under extreme climatic conditions. The system demonstrates our capability to deliver fully integrated, autonomous and energy-efficient infrastructure tailored to arid regions and decentralized energy environments.
