Campos del Sol Solar Park, Chile
Name of the Project
Campos del Sol Solar Park.
Location
The project is located 60 km north-east of Copiapó, Atacama Region, in Chile.
Project Owner/s
Enel, through its renewable-energy subsidiary Enel Green Power Chile.
Project Description
The project involves the construction of a solar photovoltaic (PV) plant with an installed capacity of about 382 MW.
The plant is expected to generate about 1 160 GWh/y, avoiding the emission of more than 900 000 t/y of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The facility will boast an estimated one-million bifacial PV panels, a technology that maximises energy generation by capturing solar radiation from both sides of the panel, generating on average 12% more electricity than conventional modules.
This solar project will also have innovative, digital features. The Campos del Sol construction site will leverage state-of-the-art machinery guided and controlled by a global positioning system, while an autonomous drone will remotely monitor worksite activities, boosting the plant’s construction process productivity and efficiency.
