Greentech Lead America: SunWize Technologies is developing two major solar photovoltaic projects in the Republic of Ecuador.The two photovoltaic projects—known as Condor Solar and Solar connection represent 30 MW (AC) and 20 MW (AC) respectively. Combined, these installations will have an estimated peak capacity of 62.5 MW (DC) and will feature approximately 234,000 solar  panels, multiple inverters and a substation to process and distribute energy to over 100,000 households in northern Ecuador.

SunWize is working with three other organizations as members of a North American Consortium. In addition to SunWize, the consortium includes Solexica Energy Corporation, JCM Capital, and Radical Energy.

These projects will help Ecuador diversify its renewable energy resources and promote energy efficiency among its people.

“Photovoltaic solar energy doesn’t pollute air, soil or water, making it a sustainable and environmentally-friendly choice for energy production worldwide. As members of the North American Consortium, we look forward to providing the people of Ecuador with an energy resource that will serve them well in the years ahead.” said Scott Tonn , CEO of SunWize.

The Condor Solar and Solarconnection projects will generate 200-400 temporary jobs during their construction phase and 10-15 permanent jobs.  The two projects will also reduce Ecuador’s carbon footprint by eliminating the production of approximately 47,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year, equivalent to removing 8,697 midsize cars from Ecuadorian roadways.

SunWize is a global engineering, procurement, and construction company, a premier distributor of sustainable energy products, and a developer of engineered solutions for mission-critical projects. SunWize delivers sustainable energy solutions to leading public and private organizations.
