Nextracker recently announced that it is the first solar tracker equipment and software provider to surpass 50 gigawatts in global shipments, which is equivalent to the peak electricity demand of California, the fifth-largest economy in the world.
STI Norland will supply 180 megawatts of its STI-H250, first dual-row tracker available on the market, to four photovoltaic plants in Spain:
Nextracker was awarded a master supply agreement by Solaria to supply 125 MW of it`s NX Horizon solar trackers across Spain.
The Brazilian EPC Andrade Gutierrez will build the 830-megawatt Janaúba PV plant in the state of Minas Gerais using Nextracker’s NX Horizon™ bifacial optimized solution.
With tracker systems, the solar modules follow the position of the sun during the course of the day and thus ensure greater efficiency. However, the different angles and orientation make cleaning much more difficult.
STI Norland, manufacturer of PV trackers and fixed-tilt structures, has opened a permanent office in Melbourne, Victoria, with the aim of establishing and developing its presence in the Australian and Asia-Pacific solar tracker markets.
The bifacial solar tracker solution from Nextracker has been selected to deliver substantial yield gains for Western Downs Green Power Hub.
Trina Solar recently announced the acquisition of the remaining 49 per cent of equity in Nclave Renewable S.L., thereby making Nclave a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trina Solar.
The solar industry faces challenges relating to the need to optimize resources with the aim of reducing the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). In this sense, solar tracker selection and solar tracker suitability for the specific conditions of each site are paramount for project development.
