Arctech, a well-known provider of solar tracking and racking solutions, is preparing to equip its SkyLine II solar tracking solution a total output of 365.8 MWto the Puerto Penasco Solar Park in Mexico, which is being spearheaded by the Mexican government as a flagship initiative to accelerate the country’s energy transition.

When completed, the Puerto Penasco solar farm is expected to be Mexico’s largest single-unit solar facility and the eighth largest in the world.

During the COP27 in 2022, Mexico revised its renewable energy targets and committed to reducing emissions by 35% from business-as-usual levels by 2030. This underscores the country’s ambitious aspirations for a transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.

Arctech has an impressive track record of delivering several high-profile projects in Mexico since entering the country in 2018, including the 167.12MW Sonora Solar Project and the 118MW Horus Project. In late 2022, Arctech signed three agreements in Mexico to provide around 10MW of its solar tracking solutions, which include its SkyLine II, SkyLine and SkySmart series, demonstrating the diversification of the country’s market needs.

By the end of 2021, Arctech has delivered tracking and shelving systems to almost 1,300 solar power plants in 40 countries with a total capacity of over 40 GW. This impressive achievement underscores the company’s unwavering commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions worldwide through constant innovation in a specialized solar sector.

In addition to opting for high-end solar module technologies, the introduction and integration with intelligent solar tracking systems has become increasingly important in order to achieve optimal energy yield. Last month, another solar tracking solution provider, Nextracker, signed an agreement to supply its trackers to a 1,568GWdc solar PV facility in Gujarat, India.
