“Thanks in part to NEXTracker’s independent rows and reduced foundation requirements, our Javiera project was completed in record time – the mechanical aspects of this system were substantially complete in about two months,” said Sasan Aminpour, Senior VP of Operations, SunEdison. “Collaborating with NEXTracker and building upon best practices pioneered during the construction of our nearby Crucero plant, SunEdison and NEXTracker refined lean construction techniques to dramatically accelerate deployment of a large power plant. NEXTracker’s careful attention to component quality and customer support further facilitated the rapid installation.”
NEXTracker’s independent row design was also said to reduce the cost of cleaning strings of modules.
