How Solar Trackers Reduce LCOE for Utility-Scale Solar Projects
As the world shifts towards renewable energy sources to combat climate change, solar power has emerged as a leading contender in the race for clean energy dominance. For utility-scale solar projects, one key metric stands out in determining their viability: the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). LCOE reflects the lifetime cost of generating electricity […]
US solar industry leans on contract manufacturers to boost domestic output of inverters, trackers
This piece was contributed to Solar Power World Online by Billy Ludt. Domestic solar manufacturing is seeing an unprecedented boom as the industry reaps the tax benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act. To meet the demands of electrifying and decarbonizing the American grid with products made within its borders, companies are expanding operations in the […]
Nevados, the Solar Tracker That Adapts to Any Terrain with Yezin Taha | Clean Power Hour EP205
Solar trackers have swept the utility-scale solar industry in recent years, with single-axis trackers now deployed on a staggering 94% of large-scale projects. While a few big names dominate the tracker market, one company – Nevados Solar – has carved out a distinct niche with its unique all-terrain tracking technology.
Developing Solar on Variable Terrain
Yezin Taha, CEO of Nevados, joins us to discuss the increasing demand for developing non-flat land for utility-scale solar projects, the challenges and costs involved, and the technology Nevados uses when working on variable terrain.

New Territory: Changes in Solar Farm Site Selection Criteria
When you picture a solar farm, you probably think of a large, flat, desert site with uniform rows of ground-mounted solar panels. For the last couple decades, this has certainly been the norm. But as the U.S. faces a growing need for renewable energy, these “ideal” solar sites are becoming more scarce. Thankfully, advancements […]
How To Compare Solar Tracker Companies: A Developer’s Guide
Utility-scale solar developers are the ultimate long-term strategists. From selecting site locations to choosing the right equipment, every decision they make can have a tremendous impact on their project’s levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Solar trackers are one of the most influential pieces of equipment when it comes to improving LCOE — so selecting the […]
