Problem
Traditional solar power plant installations on uneven terrain require extensive and costly land grading, limiting the number of viable sites and increasing project timelines. These grading processes can also lead to negative environmental impacts.
Solution
Nevados provides single-axis solar trackers designed to adapt to diverse terrains, significantly reducing or eliminating the need for grading. Their TRACE™ All Terrain Tracker increases power generation by optimizing solar panel angles and reduces project installation costs by simplifying foundation requirements and minimizing site preparation. The system incorporates advanced control features like terrain-aware backtracking and diffuse boost algorithms to maximize energy production. The trackers are also designed for rapid installation, further reducing labor costs and accelerating project timelines.
Target Audience
The primary customers are solar project developers, asset owners, designers, engineers, installers, and contractors involved in ground-mounted solar power plants, particularly those working on sites with challenging terrain.
Features
- Single-axis tracker designed to accommodate slopes up to 37% grade and changes in slope at each support post up to 26% grade
- Terrain-aware backtracking algorithm to minimize shading and maximize energy production on uneven terrain
- Diffuse boost algorithm to optimize energy capture during cloudy conditions
- Auto-aligning bearings and self-aligning module brackets for simplified and faster installation
- Constant foundation heights and sizes with generous installation tolerances
- Automatic wind/snow stow and 75° hail stow for weather risk management
- Available hardware includes row controllers, zone controllers, and weather stations
