Iberdrola, through its International Start-up Programme - PERSEO, is looking for new innovative structures for photovoltaic plants that allow cost optimisation, either because they are manufactured with alternative materials to steel or because their ratio of steel per MW built is lower than that of conventional structures. Solutions are sought for large-scale photovoltaic plants, which are usually located on rural land. Proposals to be considered could include, among others: Structures made from new materials and/or new lower-cost designs. Structures made of materials in line with circular economy models: recycled, recyclable, therefore sustainable and environmentally friendly. Structures with a lower ratio of steel per MW installed.
The prize will consist of signing a collaboration and testing agreement with PERSEO or any other company in the group, which will assume the costs of these activities and provide the winner with the necessary technical support, as well as a real environment and data to test the solution.
