01 / Mission

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.

03 / AgrivoltaicsIraq pilot

We don't pick between food and power. We grow both.

Microclimate

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.

Combined land productivity compared to crop-only, measured across our Karbala greenhouse pilot over 18 months. The same land produces both food and power.

04 / Storage

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.

Containerized BESS, 5–400 MWh.

Integrated battery systems delivering clean, reliable, cost-effective storage. Reduces reliance on fossil baseload and reinforces grid stability where it matters most.

Why storage is the load-bearing element.

  • 01
    Capacity firming.

    Smooth solar's mid-afternoon ramp so utilities can underwrite a fixed-MW PPA.

  • 02
    Peak-shaving arbitrage.

    Move energy from cheap hours to expensive ones; the IRR comes from the price spread.

  • 03
    Ancillary services.

    Frequency response, reactive power, black-start, services utilities will pay for.

05 / Drone batteries

Battery engineering, now built for flight.

WATTREX is extending its battery-pack expertise into a custom 6S LiPo platform for drones, agri, defense, fire-response, logistics, and aerial photography.

For developers & sovereign offtakers

Send us a site.
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.

Not interested in agrivoltaics?

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.
