Stellantis and 360Energy Commission 8 MW Solar Park at Polo Industrial Córdoba to Advance Renewable Energy Integration

The newly commissioned solar facility at Polo Industrial Córdoba has an installed capacity of 8 megawatts (MW), utilizing bifacial photovoltaic panels that capture both direct and reflected solar radiation. Advanced solar tracking systems (“trackers”) are incorporated to optimize energy collection by following the sun’s trajectory throughout the day. This setup is forecasted to generate approximately 16.7 gigawatt-hours (GWh) annually, directly supplying the production site where vehicles such as the Fiat Cronos, Fiat Titano pickups, and RAM Dakota are manufactured for domestic and export markets. The energy produced locally is integrated with additional renewable power from 360Energy’s La Rioja solar complex under Argentina’s Mercado a Término de Energías Renovables (MATER), enabling a diversified and more reliable renewable energy supply.

This hybrid supply model allows Stellantis to incrementally increase its renewable energy consumption without sole dependence on a single installation, a strategic move amid the growing industrial need for energy security and sustainability. The investment supports Stellantis’ broader strategy to reduce its industrial carbon footprint and improve environmental efficiency while consolidating Polo Industrial Córdoba as a key operational node in the region. Incorporating bifacial modules rated at 635W alongside Huawei string inverters, the facility supports system stability and enhanced performance longevity.

Stellantis’ approach reflects broader market trends in Latin America where major manufacturing players are combining on-site renewable generation with contracted green energy to navigate energy cost pressures and regulatory sustainability demands. The project marks a significant step in Argentina’s industrial energy transition, signaling increased adoption of solar technology among automakers and setting a precedent for scaling renewable energy in heavy industry.
