1. INTRODUCTION
In order to standardize the construction safety risk assessment and process control, this work
instruction is specially prepared to ensure the safety and quality of the whole construction process
and serve as the basis for the continuous improvement of the quality, environmental and
occupational safety and health management system.
The aim of this document is to list the construction phases of PV electrical equipment installation. In
order to make the construction process clear and to ensure that the work is compliance with the
project specifications and approved drawings.
1.1 Project Overview:
The Red Sea Project Plant is a luxury tourism development located in the Tabuk Province of
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) on a site area of 28000 km2. The Project will create a
high-end tourism destination in a location that offers unrivalled marine and terrestrial
environmental attractions, most notably the Al Wajh Lagoon. It has desert continental weather
with hot summers and mild winters with very little rainfall across the year. There are some
variations in the micro climate on islands, coast, wadis and mountains. The Project requires the
development of desalination plants for the supply of potable water.
The Site is on the Tabuk province of KSA, positioned on existing highway M55, within driving
distance from Madinah. It is about 110 kilometers from the UNESCO world heritage site
Mada’in Saleh in Al-‘Ula between the towns of Um Luj and Al Wajh. The Site is a vast, 33000
km2 area of islands, lagoon, coastal plain and mountains with extremely diverse marine life and
terrestrial landforms.
The site location of Red Sea Project is shown in the next figure:
This project has 5 solar farm areas, which are located respectively, SF1 area, SF2 area, Desert
Rock, Southern Dunes, Sheybarah Island are as below figure shows

7. WORK PROCEDURE
Flow Chart
The Electrical department ensure and take clearance from the civil department before electrical
execution installation.
Civil Department will give permission to electrical Department to proceed the electrical works.
Co-ordinate with all agencies including those engaged by the owner for proper execution of the job.
The procedure of electrical installation should be according to the project specification and relative
standard used in the project.
Module will be installed in site with such environment which meet the project specification
Tilt angle will keep in such a way to achieve maximum power output in direct facing of
sunlight
PROJECT:
Modules are to be at a minimum height at max tilt above natural ground level as indicated in
the installation manual and designs
Modules are to be aligned to ensure a clean finish along the edges, modules to be spaced
apart as per the installation manual
Modules should be securely fastened in the aligning holes on the installed frame/table of the
structure and torqued accordingly
The structure should be strong enough to bear the weight of the modules, it should be bolted
with calibrated torque wrench.
Modules to be checked for twisting due to over tightening.
Clamps should be used according to the installation requirement.
well-connected cables and connectors. These designs facilitate parallel and series connection of
modules.
The installer can only use single-wire cable, 2.5-16mm2. All wiring and electrical connections
comply with the appropriate standard.
7.3.3 Connector:
keep connectors clean and dry. Make sure connector caps are fastened before connection. Do not
connect connectors under improper conditions of damp, dirty or other exceptional situations. Avoid
connectors from direct sunlight and water immersion or falling onto ground or roof.
Incorrect connection may lead to electric arc and electric shock. Please make sure that all electric
connection is reliable. Make sure all connectors are fully locked.
7.4 Grounding:
The PV module should be grounded at different points where needed for safety purpose. Holes
