The two plants, located in Llerena and Lebrija, were developed by Solarpack, a Spanish company specializing in renewable energy development, investment, consulting and services.
The solar power plant constructed by SunPower in Llerena is rated at 4.8MW, while the plant in Lebrija is rated at 3.9MW. In Spain, SunPower has reportedly completed or has signed contracts to deliver solar power plants totaling more than 100MW.
For these projects, SunPower has used its proprietary tracker technology, which follows the sun during the day, and reportedly delivers significantly more energy than traditional fixed-tilt systems.
Jose Galindez, chairman of Solarpack, said: SunPower’s sun tracking technology and solar power plant experience was key to meeting our cost, schedule and energy delivery goals at these sites. This region of Spain has great potential for the renewable energy sector, and we are proud to be generating clean, emission-free solar power for these communities.
