PowerLight is partnering with Solarpack Corporacion Tecnologica on three major projects in Spain, two in the province of Seville and one in the province of Badajoz, which will have a total capacity of 17MW. The SunPower subsidiary is managing the design, engineering, procurement installation, operation, and maintenance of these three solar power plants on a turn-key basis.
In addition, PowerLight is supplying proprietary solar tracker technology and equipment to the 21MW, 80 hectare Hoya de los Vicentes project in Jumilla near Murcia, Spain for Elecnor. PowerLight said that its proprietary PowerTracker solar tracking technology tilts the solar panels toward the sun as it passes across the sky, increasing annual energy production by up to 25% compared with fixed-tilt systems.
Spain has one of the best solar resources on earth and we applaud the government’s active leadership in bringing solar power to market, said Marco Antonio Northland, PowerLight general manager for Europe. With excellent partners like Elecnor and Solarpack, we look forward to responding to Spain’s power needs with reliable, clean and affordable solar energy.
