FTC Solar, a leading provider of solar tracker systems, software and engineering services, has announced that it has been selected by European renewables developer, Five-E, to supply at least 300MW of its solar tracker technology for multiple project sites in Italy and Spain. Five-E is expected to utilise FTC’s Voyager tracker for most projects.
“We are very pleased to be selected by Five-E for this portfolio of European projects, which includes multiple utility-scale agrivoltaic projects,” said Patrick Cook, Chief Commercial Officer. “Our trackers are always designed to offer benefits such as fast assembly, reduced part count and high slope tolerance. For agrivoltaic projects, the high energy density and significantly reduced foundation count of our Voyager tracker, relative to competing products and higher ground clearance, makes Voyager the optimal solution. We couldn’t be happier to see more customers in more countries realise these benefits.
Iñigo Asensio, Founder and CEO of Five-E, said, “We’re pleased to sign this partnership agreement with FTC Solar. With compelling solutions and an offering that spans 1P and 2P trackers, software and engineering services, FTC can meet us where we need to be to optimise each project.” Delivery on these projects is expected to begin in late 2023 and be completed by the end of 2025.
