While this US project presented challenges such as high snow load, sub-zero temperatures and flooding risks, Soltec countered these hurdles with a special pile design, an extended electronic configuration range reaching down to -40° F, and tracker control mechanisms with flood sensors and snow-load removal operations.

José Alfonso Teruel, R&D manager at Soltec, said: “To meet these extreme climate challenges our R&D team has redesigned the electronics adjusting to local conditions, and developed exclusive piles to maintain tracker equipment stability in heavy snow and deeply frozen earth. With these enhanced features SF utility is configured to deliver maximum potential even in the rough winters of North America.”

Raúl Morales, CEO of Soltec, added: “We are proud to deliver our first SF Utility supply contract in the US, and of how our R&D team responded to extreme project challenges there. We are also pleased with excellent sales growth that meets with expectation and demonstrates that SF Utility and the Soltec team are on track to attain our company’s future goals in the Americas.”
