Spanish company Grupo Clavijo has begun supplying horizontal single-axis trackers for the Chañares project, an 40 MW installation in the Chilean region of Atacama, with Greenwood Biosar Chile Spa (Aktor Group) acting as the main EPC contractor.

Clavijo also is also announcing the opening of an office in Santiagode Chile, to be led by sales manager Cristina Clavijo.

The horizontal single-axis trackers used in this installation feature high performance, robustness, simplicity and quick assembly. Adaptable to all terrain types, they support multiple configurations and monitoring options.They are currently among the most advanced horizontal single-axis trackers on the market worldwide, having already been installed by Clavijo in Eilat (Israel), Hanford and Fairfield (USA), Zuera (Spain) and the Halutziot project (Israel).

This project, paired with the new office, will consolidate GrupoClavijo´s presence in Chile and will drive the development of photovoltaic projects in the country. Grupo Clavijo specialises in the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of the most extensive range of photovoltaic structures and solar trackers on the market. With more than 480 MW installed worldwide, it is a benchmark for developers, installers and EPC contractors of photovoltaic projects around the world.

Once again, the Spanish firm Grupo Clavijo will be present at one of the most important events in the solar power sector in the United States: Solar Power International (Las Vegas, Nevada, USA 20-23 October).

Visitors to the event will be able to find out first-hand (Hall S3, stand 4506) the most advanced technology solutions in trackers and structures that this firm offers installers, EPC contractors and developers of solar photovoltaic projects. Its extensive range of products is designed to achieve the maximum profitability of the installation, guaranteeing the investment throughout its useful lifetime: fixed structures, horizontal single axis trackers, polar-aligned single axis trackers and dual axis trackers.
