The Calama Solar Photovoltaic Plant 1, Region II, will include more than 130,000 panels on 24 platforms, and will be installed 3.5km north of the city of Calama.

Solarpack Corporación Tecnológica was formed in Spain in 2005. With offices in Spain, the US, France and now Chile, Solarpack develops solar photovoltaic plants and manages equity investments in renewables projects.

The company, which has 150 owner-investors, has four solar PV plants in operation in Spain totaling 21.4MW of installed capacity.

It appears the company will be financing the Calama project itself, but did not return requests for further information.

Construction is expected to begin on the plant by the end of 2010.
