Gehrlicher Ecoluz Solar do Brasil will install a 403kW PV system at Pituaçu Stadium in Salvador da Bahia after winning an international tender run by the utility.

The company – a joint venture between German PV specialist Gehrlicher Solar and Brazilian environmental technology group Ecoluz Participações – says it will use dual module providers for the project.

238kW of lightweight thin-film modules from US supplier Uni-Solar will be deployed on the canopy covering the stand, while Yingli will provide 165kW of monocrystalline modules for rooftop installation on areas including the car park.
