SunPower Corporation (Nasdaq: SPWRA – News, SPWRB), a Silicon Valley-based solar company, has signed a contract with German solar power plant integrator City Solar Kraftwerke AG.
Over the next three years, SunPower will provide City Solar with solar panels and commercial rooftop and ground mounted systems. This includes at least 100 megawatts (MW) of SunPower’s solar panels and SunPower’s tracking system for utility-scale, ground mounted systems.
City Solar Kraftwerke AG is a leading producer of large scale photovoltaic plants. Since 2003, the company has designed and built turn-key solar power plants at both the ground level and on rooftops.
"With this deal, we can offer our commercial customers SunPower’s high-efficiency solar panels and patented rooftop and ground mounted tracking systems, which can significantly increase their energy output," said Steffen Kammler, City Solar president and CEO. "We are very pleased and excited to grow our global business using SunPower’s proven technology."
The SunPower T10 Solar Roof Tiles are non-roof penetrating and tilt at a 10-degree angle to increase energy capture. The SunPower Tracker is a single axis design that enables solar panels to automatically track the sun’s movement throughout the day, increasing sunlight capture by up to 25%, the company says.
