The project was developed by, the: independent developer SunRay that was later acquired by SunPower. The park is the——largest PV project in Italy, and among the largest in Europe.
The project was built in several phases. The first phase with a total capacity of 24 MWAC was connected in late 2009. It uses SunPower solar panels as well as its tracker systems. The second phase (8 MW) was commissioned in 2010, and the "third." And fourth phases, totaling 44 MWAC, were completed in December 2010, totaling 276,156 solar modules with 305 watt each.
