Advanced materials for solar tracker durability
Integrating advanced materials, such as high-strength steels and next-generation coatings, is crucial for ensuring solar tracker durability in increasingly challenging environmental conditions.
Crop prioritization, agrivoltaics, AI vs the data deluge, and an evolving tracker from Solargik
The racking manufacturer Solargik is learning how to maximize crop growth in Colorado, is integrating LLM tools to help users look deeper into data, and staying conscious of the interplay between energy prices, hardware costs, and interconnection.
Rethinking the landscape of solar tracker design
As solar projects are increasingly developed on challenging, uneven terrain, the traditional flat-site project design tools and long-tube trackers are no longer viable. Nevados shares how its dual innovation in articulating tracker hardware and bespoke digital design software allows developers to maximize energy production and precision on slopes up to 37%, avoiding expensive and environmentally harmful grading.
Repowering trackers can extend profitability of solar arrays entering their golden years
As older solar projects reach the end of their design life, the need for repowering, replacing or upgrading aging components, is becoming a crucial consideration for asset owners.
