Kind noted: This is the 14th project of photovoltaic solar technology that entered into commercial operation since 2016 and the fifth in the province of San Juan. It's a revolution that we're really living. Argentina has tremendous potential. … Many said that this in Argentina was impossible and here we are, this is just the beginning”.

The project features over 287,000 PV panels and will generate enough energy to power over 60,000 homes. Located 201 kilometers northwest of the capital of the province, the site was financed in part with funds from BID Invest, a member of the Inter-American Development Bank Group (IDB).

Currently, there are seven renewable energy projects under construction in the province of San Juan for 130MW of installed power, standing as a total investment of more than US$130 million.

PV Tech has been running an annual PV CellTech Conference since 2016. PV CellTech USA, on 8-9 October 2024 is our second PV CellTech conference dedicated to the U.S. manufacturing sector. The event in 2023 was a sell out success and 2024 will once again gather the key stakeholders from PV manufacturing, equipment/materials, policy-making and strategy, capital equipment investment and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out PV manufacturing in the U.S. out to 2030 and beyond.
