SunPower and K6 build 2 MW solar PV in Italy

09 March 2010

SunPower Corp and K6 S.a.S. will build two 1 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants in the Puglia region, Italy.

The two solar PV plants are located in Casamassima and Conversano, and will be complete by August 2010.

SunPower will install its solar PV panels and T20 Tracker technology. The tracker follows the sun and is said to deliver up to 30% more energy than fixed-tilt systems, and requires half the land area to produce the same amount of energy as conventional dual-axis trackers.

The solar PV facilities and be monitored and controlled remotely in real-time via SunPower’s TMAC Advanced Tracker Controller.
