Balance of System

EDP is piloting a robotic construction solution on a 122MW Spanish project, which it hopes will significantly slash the project’s build time.

A German government-funded project has developed a new methodology for predicting the lifetime of inverters used in solar, battery and other energy systems.

The average global LCOE for fixed-axis solar PV systems in 2024 reached US$66/MWh, ranging from US$28/MWh to US$117/MWh.

This is the third R&D facility that Nextracker has in operations, with one in Northern California, US and another one in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The new foundation system product further expands on Nextracker's foot in the business after the recent acquisitions of Ojjo and Solar Pile International.

Nevados said the TRACE All-Terrain Tracker can be deployed on slopes of up to 37% and includes 75% hail stowing

The 1,000 inverters will be deployed at Summit Ridge’s projects across Illinois and Virginia starting in Q1 2025.

The new system builds on the capacities of DuraTrack and OmniTrack offerings, reducing dependence on power grids and adding more flexibility and optimisation possibilities.

Wood Mackenzie’s ‘Global solar PV tracker market share’ report highlights that the top ten vendors accounted for 90% of the global market share in 2023.

North America is expected to be the major market for solar trackers in the upcoming years driven by increased installations in the US.
