TrinaTracker, a smart tracker solution provider, has ranked third in solar trackers shipped to Latin America last year, according to Wood Mackenzie.
Last year TrinaTracker, part of Trina Solar, shipped solar trackers of about 1.8GW to Latin America, taking its share of the local market to 14 percent.
Two projects play a crucial role in TrinaTracker’s total power generation in the region: the 520MW Santa Luzia complex in Paraiba state, one of the largest solar projects in Brazil; and the 210MW Mauriti photovoltaic complex in Ceara state.
Marcus Fabrino, TrinaTracker’s regional head for Latin America and the Caribbean, said the success in Latin America reflects the company’s investment policy, continuing recruitment of staff and rapid delivery strategy.
TrinaTracker last year opened its third factory after ones in China and Spain, in Bahia state, Brazil. In addition to producing the Vanguard 1P trackers, the factory operates as an operations center, providing components and service to Brazil and its neighbors, helping projects to be delivered on time.
“We have an operations center in Chile to ensure the delivery of tracker spare parts and other services in and around the country, just as we have done in Brazil, and we are considering opening a new center in Latin America, possibly in Argentina or Colombia,” Marcus Fabrino said.
