SunPower, K6 Partner On Solar Power Plants In Italy

Published: 09-Mar-2010

SunPower and K6 have signed an agreement to build two photovoltaic (PV) solar power plants in the Puglia region of Italy. The plants will be completed by August 2010.

The power generated by the plants located in Casamassima and Conversano will provide electricity locally and contribute to Italy's national electric grid.

At the sites, SunPower will install its solar panels and the proprietary SunPower T20 Tracker technology. The tracker follows the sun during the day and delivers approximately 30% more energy than fixed-tilt systems, SunPower said.

Luca Bandini, general manager of SunPower Italia, said: "We are delighted to expand our portfolio of Italian solar power plant projects with these two latest parks we are designing and building for K6.

"SunPower has leveraged its global power plant experience to offer cost saving enhancements to its T20 Tracker technology, including remote monitoring and control capabilities that enable seamless integration with power plant supervisory control and data acquisition systems."
