SunPower has announced the start of construction of Prieska solar power plant in Northern Cape Province, South Africa. The new power plant will add 86-megawatt peak (MWp) and is expected to take a year to complete.
The Prieska solar power plant is expected to be of great boost to power sector in the country, having experienced consistent load shedding. SunPower will be expected to feature its latest Oasis solar technology on the new project. Using the single-axis trackers, the Oasis solar technology helps position the solar panels on the direction of the sun during the day. This makes the panels capture 25% more energy compared to the 25 fixed-tilt solar technologies.
