Balance of System

A new MIT study has shown how many of the dramatic reductions in PV costs in the past 50 years were the result of innovations originating outside the solar industry.

PV Hardware's latest generation of trackers can move up to two degrees post-to-post, more than the current industry standard of 1.75 degrees.

US solar tracker manufacturer Nextracker recorded revenues of US$864 million and a gross margin of 32.6% in the quarter ending June 27, 2025.

GameChange Solar has announced plans to supply trackers for the 1GW second phase of the Abydos project in Egypt.

US tracker manufacturer GameChange Solar has introduced the Genius Tracker TF, a new terrain-following solar tracker system designed to deliver “the industry’s lowest grading requirement on challenging terrain.” 

Nextracker will supply solar tracker systems to a 550MW solar PV project in the Greek province of Western Macedonia, owned by Greek renewables developer PPC Renewables.

US solar tracker manufacturer GameChange Solar has signed a deal to supply trackers to 715MWp worth of solar PV capacity across South America.

US solar tracker manufacturer Array Technologies has acquired APA Solar, a producer of foundations and fixed-tilt racking for solar projects.

PV Tech spoke with Joerg Althaus of CEA about the under-explored issues with solar racking, trackers and other technical concerns.

As the solar industry pushes for ever-lower costs, collapsing module quality is forcing a rethink of how reliability and performance can be safeguarded, writes Eric Hafter.
