1MW concentrating photovoltaic plant completed in Morocco

Sumitomo Electric Industries said that its first 1MW CPV pilot plant in Ouarzazate City, Morocco has been completed.

In April 2013, Sumitomo Electric started to run an experiment on its CPV module on the property of its group company located in the suburb of Casablanca, Morocco.

In September 2015, the company established a 20 kW CPV system on the property of the MASEN research institute in Ouarzazate, and began to perform a demonstration.
This year, Sumitomo Electric is expanding the scale of these efforts by constructing a 1 MW power generation pilot plant and conducting its operation.
