Soltec started supplying and installing its equipment at an 84.7 MW solar PV power plant. The project is located in the region of Murcia in Southeast Spain.
The European Union’s clean energy directive sets a binding target of 20% final power consumption from renewable sources by 2020, and Spain will comply or exceed.
The PV power plant will benefit from high solar irradiation and optimal climate conditions. Adding value to the project are Soltec’s headquarters and the Solhub logistics center within a few miles of the construction site. Around 2,900 units of Soltec’s SF7 seventh generation horizontal single-axis solar tracker will be supplied.
Corporate Social Responsibility is having an important role in this project. Underground offtake cabling and a wildlife corridor are incorporated to reduce environmental impact in addition to standard SF7 features that reduce earth grading, earth penetrations, and emissions during construction.
