Going from minus 5 degrees to above 30 in the same day, seeing tarantulas crawling on the dunes, getting lost in the midst of thousands upon thousands of square kilometers of sand... This is the setting of the construction of the largest self-supplying solar plant in Mexico with an infrastructure of all of 200 hectares, which is the equivalent of 200 football pitches.

The heat and high temperatures were the order of the day, but the team was also able to enjoy a taste of something less typically seen in the desert: snow covering the sand. This was a sight that remained etched on their retinas and something they still remember with glee.

At the same time, working in the desert can also be dangerous, as insects such as black widows would sneak into the photovoltaic panels to weave their webs - a bite from one of these animals is potentially lethal if not treated in time!

All these anecdotes, as well as the fact we were in the company of extremely hospitable and dedicated locals, made this adventure a unique and unforgettable experience that culminated in the construction of a solar plant made up from 204,060 photovoltaic panels and with an installed power of 65,000 kW. This made is possible to generate a total of 165,000,000 KWxh per year and to supply clean energy to over 120,000 people. Also, this infrastructure prevents the emission of 60,000 tonnes of CO2 per year into the atmosphere.
