Trackers

Rute Suntracker system, designed for utility-scale, high clearance solar, may reduce steel use by 30%.

GameChange Solar designed its new fixed-tilt racking system to maximize module density, with a ground coverage ratio of up to 98%. The systems costs $0.039/W in the United States and $0.029/W in other markets, for a typical 105 mph wind load.

Solar had its slowest quarter in two years in terms of deployment, hampered by global supply challenges that slowed growth, delayed projects, and drove up prices.  

Also on the rise: Solliance hits 30.1% efficiency on perovskite/silicon tandem solar cell. Trina introduces two TOPCon solar panels. And more.

North-South BLA trunk bus optimizes electrical balance of system installation, long-term O&M and cuts costs compared to conventional wiring methods.

The new self-powered 1P solar tracking system requires fewer foundations and enables greater energy output.

PV Hardware expects the plant to be operational in 2023. This is the latest in a wave of solar supply chain onshoring in the wake of the Inflation Reduction Act.

Also on the rise: Sheep to manage vegetation at solar project in Colorado. Renewables expected to generate 22% of US electricity this year. And more.

Also on the rise: What’s in the Inflation Reduction Act for the solar industry? FlexGen launches modular C&I battery. And more.

Monroe County Water Authority recently flipped the switch on the 5 MW ground-mounted solar array in Penfield, New York.
