Nextracker

NEXTracker has actually finished the distribution of its clever solar trackers for 174 Power Global's 3.4 gigawatts (GW) United States solar projects profile.

The U.S. tracker service provider has actually launched NX Navigator, a control system it states offers improved keeping track of across a range of weather. The company declares the software application enables PV plant operators to set up maintenance operations such as cleaning and mowing.

Leading CdTe thin-film PV module manufacturer and ‘Solar Module Super League (SMSL), First Solar has secured a multi-year supply deal for its Series 6 CdTe thin film modules for five projects across Texas and California with developer Intersect Power.

New analysis predicts more than 150 GW of tracker capacity will be installed in the next five years – around a third of all ground mount projects up to 2024. Rapid growth in Europe, the Middle East and Africa; and the better cost structures possible from combining trackers and bifacial modules are singled out as key trends.
