The Valcasado solar project in the Spanish province of Huelva, constructed by EPC contractor Elmya Energy, comprises a total of 33,600 solar modules. These are bifacial Vertex modules and 580 Vanguard 1P trackers, both from Trinasolar. Despite the relatively flat topography, the site has a north-south gradient of up to 15 per cent and 10 per cent in an east-west direction. This requires flexible tracking systems with good terrain adaptation as well as resilient infrastructure that can cope with dry and cracked ground.
Miguel Giménez from K2 Systems: “Significant growth opportunities”
The bifacial Vertex double glass modules from Trinasolar deliver 655 watts and were specially developed to reduce the levelised cost of energy (LCOE), which is particularly important for large solar parks. In combination with the modules and Vanguard trackers, Trinasolar will accelerate the introduction of these smart solar solutions in Europe, explains Gonzalo de la Viña, President Europe at Trinasolar. “The solution offers the best combination of solar modules and trackers for high yields in solar projects.” According to a calculation from Trinasolar, the EPC has saved 100,000 euros in installation costs through speedy project realisation.
