According to the company, the contract includes at least 100MW of SunPower’s high-efficiency solar panels, the SunPower T10 solar roof tile for commercial rooftop installations, and the SunPower T0 and T20 trackers for utility-scale, ground mounted systems.
The company claims that, its T10 Solar Roof Tiles are non-roof penetrating and tilt at a 10-degree angle to increase energy capture. The SunPower Tracker is a single axis design that enables solar panels to automatically track the sun’s movement throughout the day, increasing sunlight capture by up to 25 percent. The SunPower T20 Tracker minimizes tracking expense relative to solar power plant capacity factor by increasing sunlight capture by up to 30 percent over conventional fixed-tilt systems, said the company.
Steffen Kammler, president and CEO of City Solar, said: “With this deal, we can offer our customers SunPower’s solar panels and patented rooftop and ground mounted tracking systems, which can increase their energy output. We are pleased to grow our global business using SunPower’s technology.”
SunPower Corporation designs, manufactures and delivers solar electric systems for residential, commercial and utility-scale power plant customers. With headquarters in San Jose, California, it has offices in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia.
