Arctech’s SkyLine II solar tracker system has been successfully used in Azerbaijan’s largest utility-scale solar project, a 312 MW plant located in the Garadagh Gobi Desert.
The Garadagh solar plant spans 550 hectares and generates 500 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) annually, powering 110,000 households and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by over 200,000 tonnes each year. The project is located near the coastline, facing corrosive conditions.
The COP29 climate talks in Baku in November 2024 highlighted Azerbaijan’s goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2050 and increase renewable energy capacity to 30% by 2030, further driving the country’s renewable energy transition.
