The system is expected to be operational by the end of Q1 2017.

After a slow start compared to fixed rack systems, India’s solar tracker market is expected to grow exponentially to reach 31% by 2021, up from 7% in 2016, according to GTM Research figures. Now, many developers are interested in solar tracking systems for private power purchase agreements (PPAs), said a NEXTracker release.

The firm recently supplied India’s largest solar tracker project to date, Adani's 105MW plant in Punjab.

NEXTracker chief executive, Dan Shugar, said: “In the five years since its inception, CleanMax Solar has assembled an impressive portfolio of global industrial corporations to which it is providing clean energy generation. Our advanced solar tracker technology and experience in the India market will complement CleanMax Solar’s efforts to accelerate India’s private sector adoption of renewable power generation.”
