Project San Jose, Peru

The solar photovoltaic sector in Latin America is experiencing rapid growth, where optimising design, construction and operation is key to ensuring competitive, sustainable and rapidly executed projects. An example of this is the San José project in Peru, promoted by Acciona Energía, which has successfully implemented Factiun TRX® tracker technology, obtaining tangible benefits in terms of deadlines, costs and environmental impact.

The project site presented a common challenge for large solar developments: irregularities and slopes that required a significant amount of earthworks. Initial estimates pointed to more than 80,000 m³ of excavation and backfilling, with a high economic and environmental impact.

The incorporation of the Factiun TRX® tracker allowed the construction strategy to be rethought. Its design, adaptable to uneven terrain, and the robustness of its control system facilitated installation on surfaces with different slopes, while maintaining precise alignment of the modules to maximise energy capture.

The result was a reduction in the volume of earthworks from 80,000 m³ to just 14,000 m³, reducing the expected impact by more than 80% and demonstrating the efficiency and adaptability of Factiun TRX® technology in large-scale projects.
