Project Highlights

Brazil Sertão 117MW Solar Park, located in Bahia, is equipped with 349,253 modules. Astronergy has provided 48MW ASTRO modules for the project. Through a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) issued by government, the solar park will generate 275 GWh of electricity to meet the demand of 145,000 families and reduce the carbon dioxide emissions by more than 34,000 tons. This large-scale project is expected to contribute to the growing renewable energy market in Latin America.
