KRETINGA, Lithuania, Feb. 8, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Arctech, the world's leading tracking,
racking, and BIPV solutions provider, announced it has inked a deal
to supply a 78.8MW SkyLine solar tracking solution with a Danish
renewable energy projects developer European Energy in Lithuania, marking its first move in the
country, and it's reaching
a 400 MW portfolio in the region.
European Energy develops, constructs and operates wind and solar
farms all around the world, this creative enabler of the green
transition has constructed 2GW wind and solar PV farms since its
foundation in 2004.
The project is located in Kretinga, Lithuania, where is one of the solar hubs in
the country. According to the International Renewable Energy
Agency, the Baltic nation had 148 MW of installed solar power at
the end of 2020. It is heavily dependent on energy imports. A plan
for energy independence by 2050 foresees the large-scale deployment
of renewable energy resources.
In February 2022, the Lithuanian
government decided to increase the
2022 budget for solar rebates by €35 million after the initial
phases of the program showed strong success among homeowners.
Since entering the European market in 2013, Arctech has
strengthened its customer base through solid service and upfront
technological innovation. Now, the company has established a good
relationship with international well-acclaimed partners in Europe including Enel, Lightsource BP, Metka,
EDF, Solek, Juwi, and Baywa, among others.

product, with great terrain adaptability, SkyLine can operate on
North/South slopes up to 20%. Equipped with the AI Smart Control
Box independently developed by Arctech, SkyLine can significantly
increase power output by effectively overcoming the shadow effect.
Meanwhile, the tracking system provides stable performance under
harsh weather conditions due to its structure being adjusted based
on wind tunnel data.
Back in 2017, Arctech also secured an important tracker deal for
one of three 50 MW solar projects in an auction by the Spanish
government. Spreading over an area of 80.55 hectares, the La Nava
project is located between the towns of Almodóvar del Campo and
Puertollano, in the province of Ciudad Real (Spain). The plant adopts Arctech's 2P SkySmart
tracking system and 147,378 bifacial modules. It entered into
commercial operation in 2019, generates 90GWh electricity annually
and supplies enough clean energy to power 36,000 households,
offsetting 90,000t of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) a year.
