Sun is the
easy part.
Wattrex engineers, procures, and constructs MW-scale solar, agrivoltaic, and battery-storage projects across MENA and Africa , for sovereign developers, industrial operators, and the institutional investors who back them.
EPC where conventional firms won't underwrite the risk.
Wattrex is a vertically-integrated Engineering, Procurement, and Construction firm operating across MENA, Iraq, and Sub-Saharan Africa. We build solar , and we do not subcontract the load-bearing engineering.
Founded by engineers, run by engineers, headquartered alongside the supply chain. Our Qingdao HQ sits inside the procurement ecosystem; our Paris office runs the European banking and project-finance relationships; our Baghdad office runs operations in our flagship market.
The result is an EPC firm that can underwrite, procure, and deliver in markets where most counterparties cannot , and that owns the lessons learned at every stage of the project lifecycle.
Tonnes of CO₂ avoided each year across the Wattrex operating portfolio.

End-to-end execution. From soil sample to handover.
Five disciplines, sequenced as one delivery model. Each one stays under our roof , engineering, procurement, construction, storage, and the agrivoltaic land-use work that comes with it.

We don't pick between food and power. We grow both.
Shade is a feature.
Elevated photovoltaic arrays cast partial shade that reduces heat stress on crops, slows evaporation, and extends growing windows in semi-arid Iraq summer months , without sacrificing irradiance for the panels.
A more resilient grid starts with storage.
Utility-scale battery storage is the load-bearing infrastructure for renewables. We design, deploy, and dispatch it , from AC-coupled retrofits to standalone gigawatt-hour facilities.
Why storage is the load-bearing element.
- 01Capacity firming.
Smooth solar's mid-afternoon ramp so utilities can underwrite a fixed-MW PPA.
- 02Peak-shaving arbitrage.
Move energy from cheap hours to expensive ones; the IRR comes from the price spread.
- 03Ancillary services.
Frequency response, reactive power, black-start , services utilities will pay for.
Operators don't pitch. Their meter readings do.
Six selected delivered, under-construction, or pre-EPC projects across our active markets. Full reference list and bankability documentation available to credentialed investors.
Wattrex is the rare EPC counterparty we will underwrite without a parent-company guarantee — they have delivered to PR and date on every project we have co-financed since 2021.— Senior Director, Infrastructure Finance · multilateral development bank · full attribution available under NDA

We'll return a feasibility memo in 14 days.
Coordinates, expected capacity, target offtake structure. We respond with a preliminary yield model, a buildability assessment, and a no-obligation indicative price.
We do open-space solar and BESS without the agriculture.
Most of our portfolio is utility-scale ground-mount and industrial canopies , agrivoltaics is one specialty, not a prerequisite. Talk to us about whatever fits the site.
