SAN JOSE, Calif., May 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWR), a manufacturer of high-efficiency solar cells, solar panels and solar systems, today announced the completion of two solar-electric power plants in Spain, totaling 8.7 megawatts. The two plants, located in Llerena and Lebrija, were developed by Solarpack, a Spanish company specializing in renewable energy development, investment, consulting and services. Solarpack hosted ceremonies dedicating the two power plants this week.
The solar power plant constructed by SunPower in Llerena is 4.8 megawatts; the plant in Lebrija is 3.9 megawatts. In Spain, SunPower has completed or has signed contracts to deliver solar power plants totaling more than 100 megawatts.
"SunPower's innovative sun tracking technology and solar power plant experience was key to meeting our cost, schedule and energy delivery goals at these sites," said Jose Galindez, chairman of Solarpack. "This region of Spain has great potential for the renewable energy sector, and we are proud to be generating clean, emission-free solar power for these communities."
For these projects, SunPower used its proprietary SunPower(R) Tracker technology, which follows the sun during the day, and delivers significantly more energy than traditional fixed-tilt systems.
"We utilized our industry-leading SunPower Tracker technology at both of the power plant sites, maximizing energy output, while optimizing land use and reducing related costs," said Marco Antonio Northland, general manager of SunPower's European operations. "We are pleased that the Spanish market continues its rapid adoption of solar power, and that Solarpack
chose SunPower to provide innovative turnkey solar solutions."

SunPower To Build 3 Solar Power Plants in Spain
BARCELONA, Spain, April 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SunPower Corporation (Nasdaq: SPWR), a Silicon Valley-based manufacturer of high-efficiency, commercially available solar cells, solar panels, and solar systems, today announced a number of solar power plant projects being built or supplied by its PowerLight subsidiary. These projects will expand PowerLight's market-leading footprint in Spain to more than 61 megawatts.
PowerLight is partnering with Solarpack Corporacion Tecnologica, S.L. on three major projects in Spain, two in the province of Seville and one in the province of Badajoz, for a total of 17 megawatts. PowerLight announced one of those projects, the approximately 4.8 megawatt power plant in Llerena, earlier this month. PowerLight is managing the design, engineering, procurement installation, operation, and maintenance of these three solar power plants on a turn-key basis.
For Elecnor, S.A., PowerLight is supplying proprietary solar tracker technology and equipment to the 21 megawatt, 80 hectare Hoya de los Vicentes project in Jumilla near Murcia, Spain, which is nearing completion. The proprietary PowerTracker(R) solar tracking technology tilts the solar panels toward the sun as it passes across the sky, increasing annual energy production by up to 25 percent 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.
"Spain has one of the best solar resources on Earth and we applaud the government's active leadership in bringing solar power to market," said Marco Antonio Northland, PowerLight general manager, Europe. "With excellent partners like Elecnor and Solarpack, we look forward to responding to Spain's power needs with reliable, clean and affordable solar energy."
Northland will be addressing an audience at the European Energy Forum in Barcelona on Thursday, April 26 on the topic of solar tracking technology. The presentation will begin at 12:00 noon local time at the Palau de Congressos de Barcelona, Pavilion 5. SunPower and PowerLight are participating as exhibitors at the Forum at Stand 15.
