Commercial PV System San Pedro Sula, Honduras

20 percent self-consumption covered

Largest rooftop PV system in Latin America

PepsiCo installed a PV system at its Honduran bottling plant to generate solar power on-site, reduce purchased electricity and better manage energy-price fluctuations. 

Smartsolar, a leading developer of rooftop PV systems in Honduras designed and installed the 3 MW rooftop power plant in San Pedro Sula in Honduras with 98 SMA Sunny Tripower 24000TL-US inverters. The installation spans 366,000 square-feet of the bottling plant’s rooftop. The PV system’s annual electricity generation covers approximately 20% of the manufacturing facility’s electricity consumption. The tree-equivalence statement should be deleted.
