Gonvarri Solar Steel is accelerating its expansion across Latin America and has identified Argentina as one of the next cornerstone markets in its regional strategy. Building on more than 30 GW of solar trackers delivered worldwide — including over 8 GW in Latin America — the company aims to leverage its track record to establish long-term relationships with key local stakeholders.
“Our objective for 2026 is to start closing agreements with players within the country,” said Cristhian Romero, LATAM Business Development Manager at Gonvarri Solar Steel. He noted that Argentina’s market structure, largely driven by domestic investment, aligns with the company’s long-term vision.
The company is focusing on leading EPC contractors, utilities and investors in Argentina. Its strategy is to engage with projects from early development stages, strengthening collaboration throughout engineering and tender processes. This approach allows clients to understand the company’s value proposition before procurement, while also enabling a close and responsive after-sales service.
Gonvarri Solar Steel’s business model prioritises long-term partnerships, supported by the financial strength of the Gonvarri Industries group, which brings nearly 70 years of experience in the steel industry and more than two decades in the solar photovoltaic sector.
This strategy has enabled the company to consolidate its presence in Chile and Peru. In Chile, it has surpassed the milestone of 1 GW of trackers delivered. In Peru, where it has been supplying large-scale solar projects since 2012, the company is currently providing trackers for the country’s largest photovoltaic plant, with a capacity of 480 MW.
Both cases reflect a steady regional expansion that began in 2010, when the company first started operating with solar trackers in Latin America.
The company’s positioning is further supported by a robust after-sales service, with in-house teams across the region. This includes ongoing monitoring of installations and regular updates to tracking control software, helping to optimise plant performance over time.
Portfolio of solutions
Gonvarri Solar Steel operates as a multi-product platform serving both utility-scale solar PV projects and the commercial and industrial (C&I) segment across Latin America. Its portfolio includes the TracSmarT+1P single-axis tracker and the recently launched TracSmarT+2P.
The TracSmarT+2P offers configurations with one or two strings and rows of up to 41 metres, combining structural robustness with flexibility to adapt to different layouts and terrain conditions.
Both tracker models are integrated with the TracSmarT+ System, the company’s proprietary tracking control solution used to monitor and manage photovoltaic plants worldwide.
In addition, both solutions incorporate the AgriPV by Solar Steel design, aligned with European standards for advanced agriculture and livestock projects. With ground clearance of up to 2.1 metres, the system allows agricultural activities to be integrated without compromising photovoltaic performance.
The portfolio is completed by fixed-tilt structures adapted for both large-scale projects and the C&I segment, positioning Solar Steel as a technically flexible supplier able to address a wide range of market requirements.
With Argentina firmly on its radar, Gonvarri Solar Steel aims to scale its presence in Latin America through a strategy based on experience, proximity to clients and a diversified technology offering. 2026 is expected to be a defining year for its regional positioning.
