NEXTracker (Fremont, California, U.S.), a Flex company, on May 18th,
2016 announced that it has achieved FINAME accreditation in Brazil
which will enable the Company to deliver its advanced solar PV trackers
to Brazilian projects under attractive financing arrangements.
FINAME accreditation, granted by the
Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES), indicates that a company has
produced a product that is compliant with BNDES local content and local
manufacturing processes criteria.
FINAME facilitates financing under special terms and
conditions, enabling project developers to access local development
bank credit lines.
With a growing Brazil presence, NEXTracker,
co-located with Flex’s manufacturing center in Sorocaba, São Paulo – and
supported by over 9,000 Brazilian Flex employees – is well positioned
to supply its advanced NX Horizon trackers to solar developers and
engineering, procurement and construction firms (EPCs) throughout
Brazil.
Tracker materials produced locally include, besides
key structural items, NEXTracker’s advanced self-powered controller,
manufactured and tested at Flex.
“NEXTracker is thrilled to receive FINAME
accreditation. Combined with our local sales and operations, this
solidifies our ability to deliver significant volumes of our advanced
solar trackers in Brazil,” said NEXTracker CEO Dan Shugar.
“Brazil represents a boundless new frontier for
solar deployment. In addition to serving this important market, we’re
delighted to be contributing to the Brazilian economy by adding new,
high-quality solar jobs.”
Brazil aims at 7 GW of installed PV capacity by 2024
Brazil’s federal energy planning authority (EPE)
recently doubled its forecast for installed photovoltaic capacity to
7 GW by 2024, owing to the country’s initial solar auction results.
BNDES’ FINAME accreditation encourages companies to
service the region with local products, which creates more availability
and scalability for parts inventory and technical support.
