Hanwha Q Cells said that it will partner with Mexico-based developer and construction firm Ilioss to install rooftop and carport systems at Soriana locations.
The German company will provide finance for all 31MW projects.
Ilioss and Hanwha Q Cells have already commenced construction on the first seven solar systems in Baja California Sur, which will feature over 12,000 Q Cells Q.PRO-G3 250 W panels to provide approximately 3.05MW of combined generation capacity.
Construction on all 120 sites is estimated to complete by early 2015.
Hanwha Q CELLS country manager for Mexico Alejo Lopez said, "Soriana is an ideal partner for a solar project of this scale in Mexico.
"Solar power makes strong economic sense for many large retail and industrial energy users in Mexico, even without any government subsidies."
Soriana CFO Aurelio Adán said, "With this association Hanwha Q CELLS, Soriana and ILIOSS join forces to provide the most advanced technology to obtain clean energy at preferential costs. This project allows Soriana to meet both its sustainability and cost saving goals."
