400MW
Download Case Study
Nextracker is committed to addressing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. By partnering with Nextracker and other key collaborators, construction of the Green River Energy Center relied on zero emissions transportation for more than 500 shipping containers – an innovation that reduced carbon emissions by 37,000 KgCO2
Androscoggin County, Maine, USA
Leeds Solar
27.5MW
Download Case Study
Located in the far northeast of the United States, Leeds Solar needed an innovative solution that could contend with soft soils and frost heave. Nextracker proposed, validated, and implemented a system to ensure long-term stability and efficient installation.
Al Kahfha, Saudi Arabia
Al Kahfha (NX Horizon-XTR™)
1.17GW
Download Case Study
The Al Kahfah Solar PV Park, situated in Saudi Arabia’s central province, is a flagship initiative under the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 roadmap. At 1.17 GW capacity, this project is a critical component of the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP) and represents a transformative step toward achieving Saudi Arabia’s ambition to derive 50% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. The Al Kahfah site’s undulating, rocky terrain posed significant obstacles to traditional solar installation methods. Conventional tracker systems would have necessitated extensive land grading, requiring explosives and heavy machinery to flatten the hilly landscape. To address the Al Kahfah site’s unique terrain challenges, Nextracker’s NX Horizon-XTR™ terrain-following technology was chosen as a transformative solution.
Longobayo, Kenya
Malindi Solar
52MW
Download Case Study
Located on the Kenyan coast, the Malindi Solar plant is one of the largest utility-solar farms in East Africa. As the first major solar project of its kind in the area, Malindi faced a number of challenges. Nextracker and our partners successfully managed the project, training local installers and planning meticulously to help alleviate the low availability of tooling in the area.The plant now sends enough clean power to the Kenyan grid to meet the annual energy needs of 250,000 customers.
Mojave Desert, California, USA
Beacon 5 (TrueCapture)
48MW
Download Case Study
A sitewide validation of TrueCapture took place at Beacon 5, part of a five-project portfolio located in the Mojave Desert north of Los Angeles. After a year of testing, the results showed significant benefits of TrueCapture, with a performance gain of 2.21% independently validated by Black & Veatch. TrueCapture’s ability to mitigate the losses caused by inter-row shading and diffuse irradiance resulted in a higher energy generation yield at the plant.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Sakaka Solar Park
405MW
Download Case Study
The 405 MW-DC Sakaka Solar Park is the first utility-scale solar project built in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As the first large-scale solar project in Saudi Arabia, there were major challenges in supply chain materials sourcing, labor force and training, and site conditions. Nextracker worked closely with the developer and EPC teams to provide project management, foundation design changes, construction best practices, and expedited commissioning.
Coahuila, Mexico
Villanueva
828MW
Download Case Study
Sprawled across more than 23 square kilometers (9 square miles) of arid desert in Coahuila, Mexico, the grid-connected 828 MW Villanueva solar power plant represents a pinnacle of innovation, quality, supply chain management, and logistical orchestration. The yearly output of the plant surpasses 1,850 gigawatt-hours of energy, enough electricity to annually meet the consumption needs of over 1.4 million Mexican households and offset more than a million tons of carbon emissions.
Australia
Australia
20MW+
Download Case Study
Australia’s mining industry is steadily shifting its preferred fuel source from diesel to renewables, driven by cost-efficiencies, the security of local supply, and investor pressure. With energy accounting for up to 40% of a mine site’s expenditure, miners are looking to lock in more cost-effective solutions with the highest availability to meet their energy needs. System reliability and uptime top the mining industry’s energy supply priorities, owed to the high cost of lost productivity. With unbeatable uptime across our global fleet, Nextracker’s superior quality, reliability and extreme weather resilience offer mining companies the most reliable source of renewable energy in the market.
Atacama, Chile
Javiera
69MW
Download Case Study
Providing clean, renewable power to one of the largest copper producers in the world, the Javiera project is installed high in the remote Atacama desert in Chile. Solar, it would seem, is meant for the desert. But that doesn’t make installing a major 69 MW utility project any easier, especially when you are working in the driest non-polar desert on the planet, a location often compared to Mars.
Lafayette, Alabama, USA
TrueCapture Smart Control System
69MW
Download Case Study
Completed in 2018, this plant has specific site challenges with terrain undulation and diffuse light conditions that can reduce production, and has seen significant energy optimization benefits by using TrueCapture.
Nevada, USA
Techren 2 (bifacial PV)
251MW
Download Case Study
The 251 MW Techren 2 solar power plant, located 25 miles southeast of Las Vegas, taps into one of the most innovative new solar technology pairings: bifacial modules and solar trackers. Using Nextracker’s NX Horizon™ smart solar tracker solution with a combination of Canadian Solar and LONGi bifacial modules, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) partner Swinerton Renewable Energy (SRE) and developer Clenera are taking solar PV yield gain to the next level by optimizing system design in response to site conditions and environmental factors.
