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.
