The facility has a power capacity of 411.84 kilowatt peak, which makes it one of the largest photovoltaic power plants in Mexico. It consists of 1875 modules manufactured in the Research and Production Centre of Isofoton in Spain; their structures have the shape of the Chrysler logo.

The modules used in this project can handle the impact of hailstones of up to 45 mm, which is more than the established requirement for a standard application according to the Standard IEC 61215, which in item 10.17 establishes a resistance to hailstones of up to 25 mm. Furthermore, the factory has been equipped with a set of batteries that will store the electric energy that cannot be injected into the plant during the day

At night, it will supply 150 state-of-the-art led luminaries that will illuminate the exterior zones of the Chrysler factory. Isofoton says they are revolutionary in terms of energy efficiency.

The installation is a joint project between Isofoton and Injuber Soluciones de Ingenierķa, a company that is part of the INJUBER-INVERSALTER Group, a pioneer in renewable energy and very well-known in the industry.

Injuber, as the main contractor of the project and in charge of the execution, designed the overall structures, the electric system, the channels, the tubes, the monitoring, the control and the intelligent energy management system (with Siemens technology) that respect the environment and the surrounding areas of the site.
