Chinese solar tracker supplier Arctech has secured 425 MW of new utility-scale photovoltaic projects in Central Asia, including 325 MW in Kyrgyzstan and 100 MW in Kazakhstan, strengthening its regional footprint.
Chinese solar tracker supplier Arctech announced it has secured 425 megawatts (MW) of new utility-scale photovoltaic projects across Central Asia, according to a statement released on August 11, 2026. The contracts include a 325 MW SkyLine II project in Kyrgyzstan and a 100 MW SkyLine II project in Kazakhstan. The company, headquartered in Kunshan, China, describes the region as one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy markets, at a time when other solar players are expanding their own operations, such as Sonnedix, which raised €730 million to finance its solar assets across Southern Europe, or Scatec, which started construction of a 120 MW solar plant in Tunisia. These new contracts strengthen Arctech’s presence in a region marked by demanding terrain conditions.
The 325 MW project in Kyrgyzstan must contend with frost-heave soils, gravel areas and complex terrain, which complicates both foundation design and on-site construction, according to Arctech. The company says it developed a customized foundation solution tailored to local ground conditions, while SkyLine II’s terrain adaptability reportedly helped accommodate the complex topography.
Extensive pre-assembly and optimized construction planning reportedly streamlined on-site installation and improved efficiency, according to the supplier. These claims, put forward by Arctech, remain the company’s own statements about its execution methods.
The 100 MW Kazakh project is situated in an environment also marked by frost-heave soils and varying geological conditions. Arctech says it applied site-specific engineering optimization and foundation verification to ensure the tracking system and foundations were well matched to local ground conditions. Tailored delivery planning also reportedly supported efficient project execution, according to the company.
Together, these two projects demonstrate, according to Arctech, its ability to combine terrain-adaptive tracking technology with site-specific engineering solutions. The company presents this combination as a reliability factor for deploying solar projects across diverse and demanding environments.
These new contracts add to a growing track record for Arctech in the region. To date, the company says it has delivered more than 3.5 gigawatts (GW) of solar tracking and mounting systems across Central Asia, including more than 700 MW in Kyrgyzstan and more than 900 MW in Kazakhstan. Arctech attributes this presence to its dedicated Eurasia team, localized engineering expertise and long-standing regional partnerships. As Central Asia accelerates its shift toward renewable energy, demand for reliable, adaptable utility-scale solar solutions is expected to keep growing, according to the company.
