The Sevilla Photovoltaic Power Plant was the largest low-concentrated CPV power plant in the world.[1] The facility is located in the Solar Platform (Solucar Complex), a region dedicated to solar power developments, in Sanlúcar la Mayor, Spain.

The plant utilizes 154 two-axis tracking units, consisting of 36 photovoltaic modules each. The entire plant covers an area of 295,000 m2 (3,180,000 sq ft), with a total PV surface area of 5,913 m2 (63,647 sq ft).[1] The maximum electrical installed capacity tops at 1.2 MW, with a conversion efficiency of 12%. The plant generates 2.1 GWh annually.[1]
