Trinasolar has started construction of a 21 MW solar project in León, northern Spain, in collaboration with NORSOL, reinforcing a shared commitment to advancing solar energy across the country. The project demonstrates Trina’s capability to deliver integrated system-level solutions, combining modules, trackers and installation services to ensure consistent system performance and long-term value for project stakeholders.
NORSOL is a leading Spanish company with nearly 20 years of experience of managing all aspects of photovoltaic projects from design and construction to maintenance. Together with this current project, there are 11 self-consumption installations with batteries that also enable shared energy, aimed at extending solar access to municipal buildings across León.
Located at some 800 metres above sea level, the site is exposed to demanding weather conditions, including heavy snowfall with projected loads of up to 1210 Pa. To ensure reliable performance, the plant will integrate 495 Vanguard 1P solar trackers and 29,172 Vertex N 700+ series modules. The design includes three tracker configurations, selected to match the terrain and support optimal energy generation.
The scope of the project goes beyond the supply of equipment, with Trina also providing on-site installation services for both modules and tracking systems, covering activities from design and engineering to construction and commissioning. Delivering modules and trackers and installation of both key components as one package reduces project complexity, minimizes EPC interface risks and improves overall project delivery efficiency, while ensuring consistent quality throughout execution.
Gonzalo de la Viña, President for Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, commented: “This project highlights Trinasolar’s capacity to serve as both a technology supplier and a full-scope partner. By combining our Vertex modules, Vanguard trackers and installation services, we are working to deliver a solar plant designed to operate reliably under challenging site conditions. We also view this as the foundation for a long-term collaboration in Spain.”
