GameChange Solar (GCS) announced the opening of a new factory, training, service, and technical support center exclusively for its Genius Tracker™ solar trackers in Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil.
The Brazil factory, located in Feira de Santana, Bahia, became operational in November 2023. It has the capacity to produce 2.5 GW of trackers and can be expanded to meet additional demand. In addition to serving the local market, the Brazilian factory will be able to supply Genius Tracker units to other Latin American countries.
In addition, the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) has granted FINAME certification for its GameChange Solar Genius Tracker trackers, assuring industry customers that the trackers meet Brazil's domestic content and manufacturing process requirements.
"Opening our new factory in Brazil demonstrates GameChange Solar's commitment to the Brazilian solar economy," said Vikas Bansal, International President at GameChange Solar. "As a global leader and supplier of solar tracker technology, we are thrilled to be operational, FINAME-compliant, and providing high-quality solar jobs in one of the fastest-growing solar markets in the world. We are open for business and will start fulfilling orders immediately."
Ion Accosta, Operations Director & Head of Brazil at GameChange Solar, added "Having the factory and service center in addition to our business headquarters in São Paolo is such a great step for us in Brazil. We will be able to provide unparalleled service to our customers with the ability to provide in-country manufacturing, training, service, and support."
