Success Story: Nevados Tackles Siting Challenges with Innovative Solar Trackers
Siting solar arrays is a challenge shared by developers, state and local governments, and communities. Not just any piece of land works for a large-scale solar array: among other things, it must be sunny, relatively flat, and close to transmission lines so it can be connected to the grid. Since they have such specific needs, solar […]
Nevados’ All-Terrain solar tracker eliminates grading,reduces steel in pilings by 23% at 170 MW project
Nevados’ All-Terrain Tracker™ is transforming solar development in the Mid-Atlantic, eliminating the need for extensive land grading on a new 170 MW project. By avoiding the movement of 400,000+ cubic yards of soil and reducing steel usage by 43 miles, this innovative system lowers costs and preserves the natural landscape. MYR Energy Services praised the tracker for its simplicity and environmental benefits, marking it as a game-changer for utility-scale solar.
