Solar tracker provider Array Technologies reports Q3 earnings surprise, chosen for 750 MW project
A 750 MW project in Ohio will make use of the company’s DuraTrack mounts. Plus, Array beats Q3 earning estimates.
Trackers vs. the elements, part three: minimizing production losses
In this three-part series, pv magazine will highlight some of the major obstacles faced when developing solar installations on single-axis trackers and see the different approaches that players in the industry are taking to neutralize each issue.
Array Technologies may be insulated from anti-circumvention, said ROTH
Array Technologies’ close relationship with First Solar, Hanwha, and Maxeon may be the reason for its strong revenue guidance, said an industry note from Phil Shen, managing director of ROTH Capital.
Kevin Hostetler named CEO of Array Technologies
Hostetler will succeed Jim Fusaro, and will be assisting Array in the integration of recently acquired STI Norland.
The opportunities and challenges presented by large-format modules
The technology promises lower LCOE, drastic reductions in project costs, and reduced shipping costs, yet availability issues and the variance in form factors have contributed to limited field usage thus far.
Array Technologies acquires STI Norland
The merger is touted as creating the world’s largest tracker company, and the move is expected to accelerate Array’s international expansion efforts.
Large format modules present a new set of challenges
As modules change in size and form factor, ripple effects are felt across the entire solar industry, requiring tweaks, modifications, and outright changes to longstanding project development and construction practices.
How do factors related to solar modules impact site-wide tracker costs?
With the market for solar modules ever-evolving, Array Technologies and PVEL released a study looking at the different module characteristics that affect site-wide tracker costs.
Sunrise brief: Array Technologies to supply 4 GW of trackers for at least 10 solar projects
