STI Norland sealed an agreement with investment company Perfin to supply solar trackers to the Brigida PV project, located in São José do Belmonte, a municipality in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco. This solar plant will have a power output of 78.4 MWp.
The contract includes the supply of STI Norland’s STI-H250™ dual-row trackers, the first of their kind in the marketplace. Together with the structure supply, the services provided for the Brígida project include pull-out tests, which involve an analysis of terrain strength by applying forces that simulate wind effects and structural weight, as well as qualification and installation programs, assembly supervision, as well as operations and maintenance training.
This PV plant is a centralized generation project, where STI Norland has almost the 40% of the market share in Brazil. Within a distributed generation, the solar tracker manufacturer is responsible for about 90% of all equipment delivered.
