Magnetar has also selected Solarcentury to construct a further 40MW of capacity.
The 71MW Solarcentury pipeline features four sites from 7MW to 28MW. The 40MW Magnetar pipeline is also made up of four projects.
All 111MW of projects are expected to be completed in time to receive 1.4ROCs under the Renewable Obligation (RO) scheme.
Magnetar Solar director Alan Shaffran said: "The government’s goal to increase the UK’s solar energy capacity and decrease its dependence on fossil fuels has made solar an extremely attractive market.
"We’re pleased to be partnering with Solarcentury to expand our solar energy portfolio and construct worthwhile solar projects such as these to help boost the UK’s solar industry."
Solarcentury CEO Frans van den Heuvel said: "With eight sites already under construction, the close working relationship we are forming with Magnetar Solar is a win-win for both companies and supports the urgent need to develop renewable energy sources to improve the UK’s energy independence."
Solarcentury will provide operation and maintenance services for all the projects.
Magnetar Solar owns 25 solar farms in the UK with a combined capacity of 300MW.
A third of the schemes are operational and the rest are expected to be completed by the end of March 215.
