The ideal combination of module and tracking systems ensures high performance and durability in dry, challenging conditions

Trinasolar, a global leader in smart PV and energy storage solutions, has supplied its Vertex Dual-Glass Bifacial modules and Vanguard 1P smart tracking systems to the recently commissioned 22MW installation at Valcasado Solar Park.

Located in the province of Huelva, Spain, the Valcasado project is developed and owned by Green Tie Capital. Built by EPC contractor Elmya Energy, the system features 33,600 Trinasolar Vertex bifacial solar modules and 580 Vanguard 1P trackers by TrinaTracker. The site has been connected to Spain's national grid and will deliver clean energy to the municipality of San Juan del Puerto over decades.

Despite the area's relatively flat topography, the site incorporates slopes of up to 15% north-south and 10% east-west gradients, which require flexible tracking solutions that are properly adapted to the terrain. Additionally, the dry, cracked soil characteristic of the area underscores the need for resilient infrastructure.

TrinaTracker's Vanguard 1P system is designed with exceptional adaptability to perform effectively in this environment, ensuring long-term stability and reliability. The robust materials used in its construction mean it can withstand the arid conditions of the region and provide seamless, year-round functionality.

The high-performance Vertex Dual-Glass Bifacial modules, engineered to minimise the Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE), offer a flexible system design and long-term reliability, which are fundamental attributes for the project's success.

Miguel Pantoja, project manager from Elmya Energy, said: "With extensive expertise and experience in the industry, Trinasolar demonstrated their capability to address any challenges that might arise. Their comprehensive solutions provided the security and confidence needed."

Gonzalo de la Viña, President Europe at Trinasolar, added: "The installation of Vertex bifacial modules and Vanguard 1P trackers at the Valcasado facility once again highlights Trinasolar's commitment to leading the rollout of smart solar solutions in Europe. The solution offers the best combination of solar modules and trackers for high performance of projects. Trinasolar provides onsite services to simplify the work during installation and minimising the cost of operation and maintenance.

"By generating clean, sustainable power, Trinasolar is advancing Spain's energy transition and supporting the reduction of the nation's carbon footprint."
