Grupo Clavijo commences the implemetation of a new 55 mw photovoltaic facility in Israel

Saturday May 18th, 2013

The Spanish enterprise Grupo Clavijo has commenced work on the implementation of aphotovoltaic solar park of 55 MW in power in the Israeli settlement of Ohad. Itwas decided to select the SP 1000 model from the Group´s wide range ofstructures and trackers for this project, named Halutziot. This is asingle-axis tracker which stands out due to its robustness, adaptability to theterrain, flexibility in the positioning of photovoltaic modules, and extremeease of assembly. Furthermore, it comes with a bearing patented by GrupoClavijo, and which requires no maintenance.

The facilityis expected to be delivered in May 2014, and once operational will produce 110,000Mwh per year, providing for up to 55,000 homes. The park will cover an area of4.5 km in length by 2.5 km in width.

Grupo Clavijo is a Spanish company specialising in the design, manufacture,installation and maintenance of the widest range of fixed structures and singleand dual-axis solar trackers. With over 400 Mw installed throughout the world, thecompany is a benchmark in the sector for EPC firms, installers and developersof photovoltaic solar projects.

The Spanish company Grupo Clavijo has completed the delivery of horizontal axis trackers for a 25 MW solar photovoltaic installation in California (USA). These trackers (designed and manufactured by the company) have been selected by the park´s promoters for their easy adaptation to the land, durability and versatility to suit the specific needs of the project. Once connected, the energy produced is equivalent to the electricity consumed by more than 22,000 inhabitants, avoiding the release of over 87,000 tons of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. With this new project, Grupo Clavijo strengthens its presence in the USA and continues its world-wide expansion with more than 280 MW installed.

Tuesday September 18th, 2012

The Spanish company Grupo Clavijo has completed work on a new solar photovoltaic park in Cáceres (Spain). Specifically, single-axis trackers designed and manufactured by the international company have been used. This new park will generate 11.5 Mw of power, enough to provide energy to more than 10,000 inhabitants, preventing the emission of more than 40,000 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere per year. The solar farm covers an area of 40 hectares, equivalent to 40 football fields. This project confirms the quality of the single-axis trackers designed by the company, characterised by their resilience, simple installation and low maintenance. With more than 220 Mw installed throughout the world, Grupo Clavijo is today a benchmark in the photovoltaic market for structures and solar trackers.

The Spanish company Grupo Clavijo has finalized the installation work for the 2 Mw –La Joya del Sol– solar photovoltaic park in Fresno, California. Specifically, the project uses horizontal-axis trackers, which are characterized by their resistance and safety, along with a high yield. This project, located in one of the areas of the United States with the most sulight, furthers the company´s expansion into this country, where it has already installed two-axis trackers. Grupo Clavijo´s quality is backed by the TÜV-NORD structural safety certificate for structures, as well as the bankability report (Technical Due Diligence) issued by the prestigious firm Black & Decker Veatch. This gives Grupo Clavijo´s world customers backing and a first-class guarantee when obtaining financing for solar photovoltaic projects in any country.

Wednesday May 2nd, 2012

The Spanish Grupo Clavijo company has finished installing the fixed structures on France’s largest photovoltaic solar farm in Curbans in the Provence-Alps-C?te d’Azur region on more than 130 hectares of land (the equivalent of 130 football fields). The statistics of this farm show the magnitude of this project. Total installed power: 33 MW. Total investment: ? 80 million Energy supplied: 30,000 inhabitants The solar farm was assembled and installed over 15 months by a workforce of 80 people, 25 of whom occupied new positions created specifically for the project. The installation will provide CO2 emissions savings of up to 120,000 tons per year. Grupo Clavijo was founded in 1961. The firm’s main headquarters are in Viana (Navarre). It has three business divisions, one of which specialises in renewable energies, specifically the design, manufacture and assembly of fixed structure and single and dual axis solar trackers. All its products (like those used in Curbans) feature the most advanced technology. One example is the innovative, patented, azimuthal brake installed in many of its trackers. The firm is present all over the world, with more than 150 MW installed in Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Bulgaria, Canada and the USA among other countries. It also has production plants in the United States, Canada, Mexico, as well as the factory in Navarre, which was recently extended by more than 1,000 m2 with a continuous profile line. Grupo Clavijo’s internationalization strategy involves expanding in the countries where it already has a foothold and entering new markets which are investing in photovoltaic solar power such as India and the countries of the Middle East and North Africa, among others.
