Nevados is a solar tracker developer whose products can adapt to uneven terrain and are currently accepting orders for their new TRACE solar tracking solution. TRACE is Nevados' new generation all terrain tracker designed for steep and undulating terrain with slopes up to 37%, which can protect the native surface soil.

Through TRACE, Nevados has updated the mechanical operation of the system, integrated software and controls, including features such as 75 ° hail storage, further reducing the risk of wind, snow, and hail to the project. It has terrain aware backtracking function, which can reduce shading and thus increase energy production.

Yezin Taha, CEO and founder of Nevados, said, "Through TRACE, we have turned the all terrain tracker (already the most powerful and easy to install product on the market) into a more cohesive and fully functional product

Project risk mitigation measures
Bidirectional automatic retraction, accelerating windproof and hail resistant retraction.
75 ° Hail Stow can reduce the probability of maximum damage (PML) caused by hail.
Flood, rainwater, and system protection storage protocol.
TRACE adopts a backtracking rotation plan that considers specific terrain profiles to reduce the impact of background. This feature is a standard configuration for every tracker. These rotation plans can be distributed between rows to increase production, and the system can consider diffuse light.

TRACE uses Kinematics ST Drive, which does not require lubrication and therefore requires minimal maintenance

The total number of parts in the system has been reduced by 35% and comes with pre installed materials. The system can be installed using Milwaukee Tool's controlled torque impact wrench. Nevados also provides an O&M dashboard for system management, which includes access to system history.

As flat or gentle slopes become increasingly scarce and expensive, the solar energy industry needs solutions more than ever that can adapt to the world's diverse terrains, "Taha said. We constantly innovate and redefine the possibilities of solar energy development. We are able to achieve rapid and efficient deployment on sites that were previously considered too complex or costly

Nevados is currently accepting orders for the TRACE all terrain tracking system, which is expected to be delivered in the second quarter of 2025. This system can be ordered as a fully qualified domestic content tracker for the US market, helping solar developers meet additional tax credit requirements under the Inflation Reduction Act.

The TRACE system will be exhibited at Nevados RE+booth D24705 in Hall D of the Anaheim Convention Center from September 9th to 12th.
