At the COP27 climate change conference in November 2022, the government of Mexico announced ambitious renewable energy targets. The country aims to reduce carbon emissions by 35% from their present levels by 2030.

For the solar project, Arctech has agreed to supply its 365.8MW Skyline II tracking solution, a single axis tracker with a multipoint parallel drive. The tracking solution is stated to be easy to install, and has a tracking range of plus or minus 60°.

Each of the trackers can carry up to 120 PV modules, and offers high stability at all tilting angles. The foundations for the trackers can be built by either ramming piles, or by cast-in-place concrete piles.

It is claimed that the tracking solution can be stable against wind-induced torsional instabilities at windspeeds of up to 70 metres per second.
