Consolidated study data based on the Technical-Economic Feasibility Study (IT01-PFA-HEC-R0) conducted by HELP ENERGY CONSULTORES S.A.
Located in Guamaní parish, Quito (Pichincha) at 3,638 m.a.s.l. The site covers 27.79 hectares with flat topography (average 1.4% slope), minimizing earthworks costs. High solar irradiance at high altitude combined with cool ambient temperatures optimizes module thermal efficiency.

The 25-year concession timeline provides predictable long-term cash flows backed by low OPEX requirements and strong regulatory protections under Ecuadorian energy laws.
Accurate yield tracking from incident solar radiation (GHI) to AC grid injection.
Base GHI. Spectral correction (-1.00%) & albedo gain (+1.34%).
Nominal output based on PERC bifacial efficiency (22.54%).
Temp loss (-1.66%), weak light (-1.85%) & mismatch (-2.00%).
Net annual energy injected to grid post central inverter conversion.
Designed to provide legal certainty and high return for the consortium over a 25-year extendable framework.
The Investor + EPC Consortium executes the turnkey installation ($22.4M CAPEX) under detailed engineering and supervision.
Continuous operation partnering with a qualified Ecuadorian National Operator for O&M, market dispatch with CENACE, and maintenance.
Upon reaching the 25-year milestone, preferential negotiation options for additional time extension or asset transfer are triggered.
