The Mann+Hummel solar park in Querétaro is GOLDBECK SOLAR’s first customer project in Mexico. The project was realized at the plant of the German company Mann+Hummel.
From a technological point of view, the project is particularly interesting because, as with the Autodromo project, the single-axis trackers were installed in combination with bifacial panels. The bifacial modules can follow the sun throughout the course of the day. This means they are always optimally aligned and absorb more solar energy. The so-called albedo effect.
This type of technology makes a lot of sense in countries with high levels of solar radiation: “In Mexico, it is possible to generate up to 30 percent more electricity with trackers,” explains Alexander Foeth. What is also special about the solar system from Mann+Hummel is that this technology is normally reserved for large-scale projects. However, the conditions in this area are so good that the calculation is also worthwhile in these dimensions.
A unique model to date. With the system and the installed output of 554kWp , Mann+Hummel can significantly reduce its CO2 footprint.
The realization of the plant was also special. GOLDBECK SOLAR built the solar plant, which was connected to the grid in mid-May 2021, entirely during ongoing operations. “This meant that we did not disrupt production,” says Alexander Foeth. “But we were also able to provide the customer with all the approvals and certificates required for such a project.” For example, the site was surveyed with a sonar probe and the power quality was analyzed. “We collected a lot of data that will now also benefit the customer in future projects.” A project that benefits the customer Mann+Hummel in many ways.
