Solar tracking and racking solution provider Arctech has announced that it will provide 365.8 MW SkyLine II solar tracking solution to Puerto Penasco Solar Park in Mexico. Once completed, this project would become the largest solar plant in a single unit in Mexico and 8th in the world, said Arctech.
