U.S. solar tracker supplier Array Technologies plans to set up a factory in Australia, after winning a contract to supply trackers for a 102 MW solar farm in the Australian state of Victoria.
The company’s first 46 kW solar canopy was recently deployed in Brownsville, NYC, and features a low 4.5% shading factor.
Also on the rise: Solar tracker provider Array Technologies reports Q3 earnings surprise, chosen for 750 MW project. FTC Solar reveals updated Voyager clamping system, posts Q3 results. And more.
A 750 MW project in Ohio will make use of the company’s DuraTrack mounts. Plus, Array beats Q3 earning estimates.
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’ 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.
Hostetler will succeed Jim Fusaro, and will be assisting Array in the integration of recently acquired STI Norland.
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.
The merger is touted as creating the world’s largest tracker company, and the move is expected to accelerate Array’s international expansion efforts.
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.
