The first of 550,000 bifacial panels of 220 MW Magdalena II plant have been installed.
The 220 MW Magdalena II solar plant is Enel Green Power (EGP) first to be equipped with bifacial photovoltaic modules that can maximize the power of the sun. This photovoltaic module will allow to capture light from both the front and back and so achieve more efficient electrical energy production than traditional mono-facial panels. This leads to the possibility of installing a lower number of panels and reducing the surface space used.
Magdalena II, where construction began in November 2018, will be completed by the end of 2019, with the installation of the remaining panels in progress now.
Once operational, the plant, which covers an area of about 800 hectares, will be able to generate 600 GWh a year and prevent the emission of about 300,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually.
