en.Wedoany.com Reported - Argentine football club Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield has completed the installation and grid connection of a solar photovoltaic power plant on the roof of its home stadium, Estadio José Amalfitani.

The system has an installed capacity of 120 kW and was developed by Argentine solar energy company Coral Energía. It uses 210 bifacial solar panels supplied by Trina Solar, covering an area of 1,250 square meters. The power plant operates in a self-consumption mode with surplus electricity fed into the grid.

The power plant operates at 380 volts and is equipped with smart inverters, enabling automated energy management and reducing maintenance frequency. It is expected to generate 180 MWh annually, meeting approximately 15% to 20% of the electricity demand of the stadium and the club's headquarters. The club stated that the system will reduce the daily energy consumption of the sports center by 20% to 25%. In addition to hosting football matches, the sports center also accommodates educational, sports, and commercial activities.

The project has been approved under Argentina's distributed generation framework, in accordance with Distributed Generation Law No. 27,424, which regulates user-generated electricity models. The project was jointly promoted by the club, Coral Energía, and Argentine business group Grupo Corven through an agreement. The total investment is approximately $200,000, raised through sponsorship and advertising exchange agreements, with no direct cash expenditure incurred by the club.

Club president Fabián Berlanga stated at the inauguration ceremony that the club is considering expanding the project to the Vélez Olympic Village training center.
