Besides key structural items, tracker materials produced locally include NEXTracker’s self-powered controller.
“NEXTracker is thrilled to receive FINAME accreditation. Combined with our local sales and operations, this solidifies our ability to deliver significant volumes of our advanced solar trackers in Brazil,” says NEXTracker CEO Dan Shugar. “Brazil represents a boundless new frontier for solar deployment. In addition to serving this important market, we’re delighted to be contributing to the Brazilian economy by adding new, high-quality solar jobs.”
