Milestones

The opening of the datacentre D-ALiX by which the island of Tenerife has become a key node in the global communications network.

Opening of the Bioclimatic Houses complex, whose 24 dwellings comprise a unique facility for testing bioclimatic techniques and reliance on renewable energy.

During 2006-2012, we acted as technical advisors to the European Commission on renewable energy and the environment for the EURO-SOLAR programme, which aims to install 600 system kits for providing 100% renewable energy across eight Latin American countries.

The launch of a new line of research into Remote-Controlled Solar Aircraft, whose specific applications, such as surveillance and disaster management, are of great interest.

The launch of the photovoltaic modules factory, with an annual production capacity of 60MW. The modules are used in our projects, but we also sell them.

The 11MW Solten II photovoltaic system starts up, operated by the firm Solten II Granadilla, SA. This is owned by private investors and ITER, which is responsible for promoting, installing, operating and maintaining the system.

The launch of the first masters degree course in Renewable Energy at the University of La Laguna, in which ITER acted as sponsor and provided training facilities.

We launched SOLTEN I, a 13 MW photovoltaic platform consisting of 130 100kW photovoltaic units sold to small investors. ITER acted as developer, installer, operator and maintainer of the system.

We designed and developed the Teide-100 inverter for connecting photovoltaic systems to the grid, offering a peak performance ​​of 98.6% efficiency.

This new facility, featuring a conference room with capacity for 200 people, became the latest addition to our public awareness and educational resources.
