Ron Corio, the founder and chief innovation officer at Array Technologies, has been named a Lifetime Achiever within the 2018 S&P Global Platts Global Energy Awards. In a black tie affair, Corio, who has built and delivered 25 gigawatt-years of solar tracker generation to sites around the world, was honored Dec. 6 in New York as a godfather of the solar tracker industry.
Soltec Solar, the third largest photovoltaic solar tracker maker in the world, has secured a financing package worth €100 million to continue its global expansion on five continents. The company has recently increased its visibility in the United States with the opening of its Livermore, CA, testing site for bifacial solar panels.
I enjoyed a group of refreshing high-energy people in presentations, lunches, dinners, and solar power plant tours for a few days last week. It lifted my energy in a number of ways. I liked learning about the nuts and bolts of advanced solar power systems — that was part of it. The positive, engaging conversations with smart and oh so lively solar engineers set my standards for dinner companions up a notch. Maybe I like hearing people mention algorithms quite often. I plan to follow this piece with a few more technological posts, but this first one is about solar engineers, the people behind the technology.
A new report published this week from GTM Research shows that the amount of solar PV trackers shipped in 2017 increased 32% year-over-year, as California-based NEXTracker retains its top spot and accounts for a third of all trackers sold last year.
The world’s leading solar power tracker company, NEXTracker, has achieved a major milestone in one of the world’s fastest growing solar power markets.
Spanish manufacturer of solar trackers Soltec has secured another major order in Latin America, strengthening its position in the rapidly growing market.
Array Technologies, the self-proclaimed leading solar tracking solutions and services company, announced Tuesday that it had shipped 6 GW worth of solar trackers globally, only a fortnight after GTM Research reported that Array was leading shipments of solar trackers in the United States.
This post was first published on Solar Love. It is common knowledge that if your solar panels can track the sun, their energy output can increase by as much as 30–40%. In spite of this, only a small number of solar PV installations use trackers. Mostly, the problem is that sun … [continued]
