Soltec supplies SFOne to generate 83 MW in new Minas Gerais project, Brazil

• The solar plant, owned by Mercury Renew, Solatio and Sunrise, will avoid the emission of more than 156,206 metric tons of CO2 to the atmosphere and generate power to supply over 40,000 households. • Soltec will supply 1,366 SFOne trackers, known for their 1-In-Portrait (1P) array.

Murcia, May 11, 2022.- Soltec, integrated supplier of solutions for solar tracking photovoltaic plants, will supply trackers capable of generating 83 MW in a new solar plant in the Minas Gerais region, Brazil. The solar plant, owned by Mercury Renew, Solatio and Sunrise, will be equipped with Soltec's single-axis SFOne tracker.


Over 154,000 modules and 1,366 1P-array SFOne trackers will be supplied to this project. Including this photovoltaic plant, Soltec has an accumulated track record of over 4 GW in Brazil, where it is a leading solar plant supplier with an office and factory in the country since 2015, and many years of operation.
