Soltec, a unit of Soltec Power Holdings, has been commissioned by Global Power Generation, Spanish company within the Naturgy group, to supply SF7 Bifacial tracker for its 101 MW solar photovoltaic project.
The solar plant will be developed in the region of Antofagasta in Chile. The plant will be equipped with 2,829 SF7 bifacial trackers by Soltec, with a total of 234,696 bifacial modules being installed.
Trackers for SF7 bifacial modules can generate between 7% and 15.7% more energy thanks to their bifacial gain feature, which is conditioned by various variables such as structural height, absence of rear side shadowing on panels and albedo (terrain characteristic referring to the amount of solar radiation generated by a surface)
