“We are excited to begin our deliveries to Parliament Solar. Beyond advancing clean energy adoption in Texas, projects of such magnitude are vastly accelerating the North American energy transition. Ideematec has shipped over 5GW of its award-winning trackers worldwide and our participation in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (“ERCOT”) region underscores our competitiveness within the U.S. utility-scale market. Our product delivers optimized solutions to overcome technical challenges, whether it is hurricane wind speeds, difficult terrain, or expansive clay soils. We look forward to working with all participating parties to supply GWs of our advanced Horizon L:TEC® product into additional projects. Ideematec’s entire team is proud to reach this crucial step within our global expansion strategy,” said Philipp Klemm, CEO of Ideematec, Inc.
