Soltec supplies tracker equipment to 4 solar PV power plants in Chile

Soltec is in a bid to supply complete tracker equipment to four solar PV power plants located in the outskirts of Copiapó, a city in Atacama Desert, Chile. The power capacity of 46 MW is equally distributed among these plants, being each of them 11.5 MW.

The four plants namely Malaquita, Cachiyuyo, Valle Solar Este, and Valle Solar Oeste, are being developed by Yingli Solar, one of the world’s largest panel manufacturers and a main player in the solar industry.

José María Celdrán, Soltec’s Regional General Manager for Argentina, Chile, and Peru said “With over 400 MW of solar trackers supplied and underway in Chile and more than 2.2 GW in Latin America, Soltec has proven to be a reliable partner in large-scale projects. Soltec’s strong manufacturing and supply capacity enables customer project success.”

Soltec’s Solhub plays an important role. Solhub is the innovative warehousing and logistics system that supplies unitized tracker components onsite just-in-time with no intermediary handling companies, and minimal additional onsite material handling. The stock inventory and shipping activity of five factory warehouse facilities across the globe are synchronized with regional operations and project schedule to provide reliable lead-times and least onsite handling.
