California’s SunPower announced its second supply contract in as many months today, an agreement to ship 100 megawatts of solar panels to German solar power plant integrator City Solar Kraftwerke. Under the 3-year deal, SunPower will also provide City Solar with commercial rooftop and ground-mounted systems.
Last month, SunPower signed a deal to supply its solar panels to Italy’s Ecoware, another solar power plant integrator. That contract is a 4-year deal for SunPower to supply at least 130 MW of its solar panels to Ecoware, starting in the first quarter of 2009. SunPower didn’t disclose the financial terms of the City Solar or Ecoware contracts.
This latest contract with City Solar includes SunPower’s solar roof tiles for commercial rooftop installations and trackers for utility-scale, ground-mounted systems. City Solar, founded in 2002, has at least 20 solar projects under its belt, according to its web site. Most of its projects are turn-key solar power plants, including ground-level and rooftop projects, in Germany, but the company has also ventured into Spain with its five largest solar power plant installations.
City Solar’s biggest project is in Beneixama, Spain, generating 20 MW. The company said that ground project involved 200 solar panels, with work starting in August 2006 and finalized in the late summer of 2007.
SunPower has also done some work in Spain, last week announcing the completion of the 18 MW Olivenza solar power plant in Badajoz, Spain. SunPower, which has an office in Madrid, said it has completed construction of more than 165 MW of solar power plants in Spain, and more than 400 MW worldwide.
