The security climate that El Salvador has has motivated German investors to start the construction of a photovoltaic plant with an installed capacity to generate 21 megawatts of renewable energy power that will supply 20,000 Salvadoran homes.

The Santa Rosa Villa Sol photovoltaic plant has begun its earthwork work in Quezaltepeque, La Libertad. The company MPC Energy Solutions reported that the placement of 34,000 solar panels with the capacity to generate 50 gigawatts per year will begin in three weeks.
