The innovative thin film modules from Solar Frontier will be integrated for the first time with Grupo Clavijo single-axis trackers

The Spanish company Grupo Clavijo is continuing its expansion in the United States with various installations using horizontal single-axis solar trackers.

The multinational Japanese company Solar Frontier has begun to integrate its latest thin film panels in single-axis solar tracker systems via a strategical agreement with the Spanish company Grupo Clavijo. It is the first time that this integration has been successful. Thanks to this collaboration, the projects implemented with both of these advanced technologies are able to achieve greater overall efficiency for the installations into which they are integrated.

The most recent projects completed in collaboration in the United States include 18.7 MW (Morelos in Lost Hills, California) using the SP-1000 tracker model and 22 MW (Calipatria, California) also using model SP-1000. Furthermore, in 2015 Grupo Clavijo also installed 3.4 MW in Fresno, California (Cogeneración project).

The Spanish company, which this year will reach 1 GW of installed power, has projects planned for 2016 in the United States that will consist of 400 MW, taking into account the dynamic American solar photovoltaic market.

Grupo Clavijo is one of the leading international companies in the design, production, assembly and maintenance of structures and trackers for the solar photovoltaic market. It is active in Europe, America and Asia, and also has branches in the United States, Chile and Abu Dhabi.

Solar Frontier (www.solar-frontier.com) is a Japanese company with more than thirty years of experience in R&D in the solar sector. Their main activity is the production and sale of thin film CIS (copper, indium, selenium) photovoltaic modules, the development of power plant projects and energy production deals.
