TrinaTracker Bags 510 MW Solar Tracker Order for Uzbekistan Solar Projects

Smart solar tracker solution provider, TrinaTracker has announced that it has signed an agreement with Dongfang Electric International Corporation (DEC International) to provide 510 MW solar trackers for solar power projects in Uzbekistan.

TrinaTracker is owned by Trina Solar. The contract signing ceremony was held during the SNEC PV Power Expo in Shanghai.

According to the contract, TrinaTracker will supply Vanguard 1P solar trackers to the Jizzakh and Samarkand solar power plants in Uzbekistan. Once connected to the grid, the two projects will generate 1.1 TWh of renewable electricity annually, cutting an annual average of around 110,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions. Both are key projects in support of the Uzbekistan government’s agenda to transition to a green economy in the country.

This is the second project that TrinaTracker has landed as the exclusive supplier for solar plants in Uzbekistan in support of the country’s solar power development target of 4 GW by 2026 and 5 GW by 2030.

The company said that it previously provided 2618 sets of solar trackers for the 100 MW Nur Navoi Solar Project, Uzbekistan’s first solar power plant, which was inaugurated in August 2021.

“Trina Solar has 25 years’ experience in the solar industry and has consistently held the position of a top tier company. This gives confidence to project owners and developers from both product and branding perspectives,” said Wang Ai, Vice President of DEC International. “TrinaTracker has already had a successful experience in Uzbekistan, and their ‘product+service’ lifecycle solution has proven to be good, so we’re confident the construction of the Jizzakh and Samarkand projects in collaboration with TrinaTracker will also be successful.”

TrinaTracker launched the second generation of the Vanguard 2P tracker last April. The firm held that the new tracker system is equipped with its latest multi-motor control system. TrinaTracker also signed an 875 MW solar tracker supply contract with Samsung C&T (SSCT), for Qatar’s largest solar plant in December, 2022.
