Lotustex: 5.25 MWp on a single factory rooftop.
A 5.25 MWp solar installation on one factory rooftop, connected to the grid at 11 kV medium voltage and commissioned in January 2026 — the largest industrial rooftop solar project in Egypt.
Case study
Requirement, role and delivery.
The requirement
A textile manufacturer with a large daytime load and a single continuous roof, seeking to reduce exposure to grid tariff increases without interrupting production.
IRIS’s role
Engineering, procurement, construction and grid interconnection; ongoing operation and maintenance including robotic module cleaning.
What was delivered
5.25 MWp of rooftop PV on a single structure, string inverters in a dedicated inverter station, and an 11 kV medium-voltage connection with protection studies accepted by the utility.
