Chinese solar tracker manufacturer Arctech has secured 425MW of utility-scale solar projects in Central Asia, including a 325MW project in Kyrgyzstan and a 100MW project in Kazakhstan.
Both projects will use Arctech’s SkyLine II tracking system. The 325MW Kyrgyzstan project is located on frost-heave soils and gravel areas with complex terrain. Arctech said it developed a customised foundation solution and used the tracker’s terrain adaptability to address the site conditions.
