In 1935 My Father, Late.
Mr Mohammed Sharief
Al Baidheai incepted a
stevedoring company to
facilitate the Loading and
Unloading of goods from
Ships that were anchored
in the Arabian Gulf. This
was the beginning of
the proud history of our
Company ARMS Group.
Today We have diversified in to many growth sectors
in the economy such as Automotive Distribution,
Household Appliances, Motor Vehicle Spare Parts, and
Environment friendly solution Waste Water Solutions
and Accessories.

The revolutionary Sunflower™ highly concentrated photo voltaic (HCPV) system is the world’s only CPV solution that
can be installed on the field, on any rooftop or on a carport. Sunflower integrates ultra high efficiency modules,
advanced tracking, micro-converter technology, wireless communication and built-in performance monitoring
into one elegant turnkey solution. Sunflower produces cost-competitive solar power with the lowest installation and
maintenance costs in the industry.
Why Concentrated PV?
In bright sunny locations, CPV systems
use less land and have a lower cost
of energy than comparable PV or Thin
Film installations. These important CPV
advantages enable better land use,
higher energy production, and ultimately
greater return on your solar investment.
Sunflower Technology
Measuring less than seven feet in overall height, Sunflower’s single
module tracker creates a low profile design that is aesthetically
appealing. Through the combination of Sunflower’s 30% efficiency,
2-axis tracking and superior temperature performance, a 30% increase
in annual electricity production can be expected over traditional 33º
tilt PV systems (installed Watts). For carports and rooftops, where PV tilt
is only 5º, Sunflower’s annual kWh production ratio can be as much as
40% higher than traditional silicon PV.
High Concentration & Industry-
Leading Efficiency 30%
While most CPV systems concentrate
the sun only 500:1, Sunflower
advanced HCPV modules
concentrate the sun 1,200:1. 500
sun CPV systems require 2.4 times the
amount of expensive multi-junction cell material giving Sunflower a
substantial cost advantage. In addition, Sunflower high concentration
modules achieve a world-leading 30% aperture efficiency, nearly
double that of the typical PV panel.
Superior High Temperature Performance
Sunflower’s CPV technology is better suited than silicon PV in sunny,
high ambient temperature locations. This is because Sunflower uses
heat resistant Gallium Arsenide based multijunction cells and not
silicon PV. Silicon based PV panels lose 0.5% of their rated power for
every degree Celsius they increase over their 25ºC rating temperature.
Once on sun, operating temperatures can reach up to 75ºC causing
traditional PV panels to lose 20 to 25% of their rated power. Sunflower’s
heat tolerant multijunction Gallium Arsenide cells lose only 5% of their
rated power under these same conditions. This important difference
gives Sunflower a significant energy harvest advantage in these hot
sunny locations.

PowerPort TM
Carport
The PowerPort family of products is based on standardized
carport sections that are designed for any number of
compact-car, handicapped and standard parking spaces.
PowerPort mounts Sunflower›s unique single module
tracking system on a standard carport roof-structure to
save weight, installation time and money. PowerPort was
designed from the ground up with building codes in mind.
Currently PowerPort complies with all relevant California
codes for wind-load and earthquake resistance. PowerPort
is shipped as a standard product in sub-sections that can
be assembled onsite quickly and easily.
Rooftop Installations
Weighing less than four (4) lbs per square foot (less than 19
kg/m2), the Sunflower HCPV system is an ideal solution to
improve energy production on tight roof spaces. Sunflower›s
roof-mount is non-penetrating and can be adapted to
any roof surface and joist spacing. Sunflower›s mounting
structure provides a deck clearance of 27 inches (70 cm)
which clears most roof obstacles such as skylights, conduits
and HVAC lines allowing for ease of installation and higher
power density.
Field Installed System
The Sunflower mounting system employs a unique «space-
frame» structure that assembles in minutes with simple
wrenches. It is self-ballasting and requires no concrete
footings or foundations of any kind. This construction-friendly
design requires minimal installation training and allows for
large construction tolerances, simplifying installation and
reducing costs. Upon initial system startup, Sunflower›s
control software conducts a self-calibration function that
locates the sun and calibrates out any installation errors.
This simplifies installation and reduces labor costs, making
Sunflower the lowest installed cost CPV system in the industry.
