SUNPOWER PARTNERS ON SPANISH PROJECTS
 SAN JOSE – 05/04/07 – The SunPower Corp. is partnering with Spain’s Solarpack Corporacion Tecnologica S.L. to manage the design, engineering, procurement installation, operation, and maintenance of three solar large power plants.
The three projects – two in the province of Seville and one in the province of Badajoz – will be operated on a turn-key basis and total 17 megawatts of generating power, the company said.
The combined projects are expected to expand the company’s PowerLight subsidiary's market-leading footprint in Spain to more than 61 megawatts.
Silicon Valley-based SunPower Corp. designs, manufactures and markets high-performance solar electric technology worldwide, while PowerLight develops solar tracking technology for large-scale solar power systems.
Last year, PowerLight partnered with Elecnor S.A. to supply its proprietary tracking technology and equipment to a 21 megawatt, 80 hectare Hoya de los Vicentes project in Jumilla near Murcia, Spain.
The project is slated for completion this summer.
Its proprietary solar tracking technology tilts the solar panels toward the sun as it passes across the sky, increasing energy output when compared with fixed-tilt systems.
PowerLight previously delivered solar trackers for Elecnor's 23 megawatt La Magascona power plant in the town of Trujillo, Caceres.
In addition to its California operations, SunPower maintains offices in both Germany and The Philippines.
