A new solar park is making its way in Puerto Madryn, Chubut. The company Conarpesa signed the construction of a solar plant in the gulf city to supply energy to the fishing plant. This park will aim to provide electricity to the processing plant that the company has within the fishing industrial park.
The agreement signed by Conarpesa’s president, Fernando Álvarez Castellano, and the representative of the company Proyección Electrolux, where they will work on the execution of the installation and assembly of a photovoltaic plant in the city of Puerto Madryn.
The company Proyección Electrolux has extensive experience in electrical energy and industrial infrastructure works, not only at a national level but also internationally, in the execution and installation of solar parks that supply energy to industrial sectors.
In this sense, Conarpesa’s president stated that the photovoltaic plant in Madryn is already underway. This project involves installing a system that generates electricity from solar energy, through the placement of photovoltaic solar panels. These panels are composed of silicon cells that absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity.
Solar plants will power other plants with electricity.
The goal of the solar plant construction
This project was designed to power the processing plants with electricity created from solar energy, representing another step in the energy transition towards renewable energies. This aims to reduce fossil energy consumption and lead the way towards a more sustainable fishing industry.
The initial investment is around two million dollars in each plant, as the goal is to create one similar to the one in Rawson, where a Conarpesa processing plant operates in the port area.
A plant similar to the one in Rawson is planned to be built.
How is electricity produced through solar energy?
Electricity generated from solar energy is produced through solar photovoltaic panels. These panels have semiconductor devices that absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity.
This process is carried out thanks to the photovoltaic effect, in which certain materials are responsible for absorbing photons, meaning light particles, and releasing electrons generating an electric current.
