NEXTracker Inc. is shipping 70 MW of its single-axis trackers for a solar photovoltaic installation on the Moree Plains of New South Wales, Australia.
Fotowatio Renewable Ventures is developing the $164 million project project and Elecnor is serving as engineering, procurement and construction contractor. The Australian Renewable Energy Agency is providing additional support, and Clean Energy Finance Corp. is offering commercial terms for debt.
Pedro Fernandez, Elecnor's project manager, says the NEXTracker system has a foundation design that addresses challenging soil conditions found at the site and minimizes grading and grounding requirements.
