Enray Contracts Greencells for 71MW UK Solar

Enray Power has selected The Greencells Group as the EPC contractor for a 71.28-MWp utility-scale solar project near Carlton in the UK. The plant will use 108,836 bifacial modules mounted on tracker systems designed to boost generation efficiency.

The development highlights ongoing expansion in the UK solar market as developers invest in large-scale renewables to meet rising electricity demand and decarbonisation goals. Bifacial, tracker-mounted technology is increasingly common in solar parks to improve energy yields and project economics, while Greencells continues to expand its EPC footprint across Europe, including solar and battery storage projects.

How will Greencells’ EPC delivery and bifacial trackers affect a 71.28MW UK solar output?

  • EPC delivery by The Greencells Group will translate the project’s designed capacity (71.28MWp) into delivered, operational output by ensuring key “yield-critical” work is executed on schedule and to spec—system layout, engineering tolerances, electrical configuration, and on-site construction quality—so the plant performs as intended rather than underperforming due to workmanship or design mismatches.
  • The EPC scope will also affect net generation by optimizing the plant’s balance-of-system (inverter placement, string/electrical design, cable routing, and commissioning approach), which can reduce avoidable downtime and energy losses during normal operation.
  • Using 108,836 bifacial modules increases potential energy harvest versus monofacial designs because the modules collect light from both the front and the ground-reflected “backside” irradiance; in practice, this can lift total annual generation depending on site albedo (ground cover), tracker height, and tilt strategy.
  • Tracker-mounted bifacial systems improve energy capture throughout the day by maintaining a more favorable module orientation to the sun, which typically increases effective irradiance on the module surface and broadens the daily period of higher power output.
  • Combined, bifacial + tracking generally means higher annual yield per installed MW, so the 71.28MW plant should produce more electricity over its lifetime than an equivalent capacity deployed with fixed-tilt and/or monofacial modules (the uplift varies by site conditions and design choices).
  • EPC-led commissioning and performance verification will help ensure the trackers are aligned and controllable as designed (consistent row spacing, correct tracking parameters, and reliable drive/controls), supporting steadier power output and reducing “lost production” from misalignment or tuning issues.
  • The delivered configuration will influence how quickly the facility reaches expected performance after completion (through staged testing, commissioning discipline, and grid integration readiness), which affects early-year output realization.
  • The overall impact on UK output is therefore twofold: higher instantaneous and annual generation from bifacial/tracker physics, plus improved realized performance from EPC execution and commissioning—together increasing the electricity the 71.28MW system can deliver to the grid.
