A double victory for Nevados: We just took home not one but TWO Environment+Energy Leader Awards. 🏆 Legacy technology isn’t cutting it anymore. The TRACE All Terrain Tracker® proves (again!) that the right technology changes everything. The Environment+Energy Leader Awards honor outstanding products and projects in sustainability, energy, and social responsibility. We're proud to be among the winners in this year's categories for Energy Innovation and Environmental Impact, for projects that used TRACE. Here’s what makes TRACE a multi-award-winning technology in solar (and the best fit for your next project): ➡️ Installation Efficiency: Fastest installation time in the industry — 38% quicker than three top competitors, based on an Eclipse-M study. ➡️ Zero grading: No need for harmful topsoil grading. The patent protected TRACE architecture features articulation and consistent foundation reveal heights to make terrain following seamless. ➡️ 100% domestic content available: The U.S. version is built in small-town East Texas with our partner [tag] Priefert. No tariffs, no supply chain headaches — just more American energy, made with American equipment. TRACE provides developers with the best solution for solar on challenging terrain. On a 170 MWdc project in Bartonsville, Virginia, TRACE saved $2.5 million in grading and another $2.5 million on steel, thanks to our articulating couplers that allow for all pilings to be the same height. The Bartonsville project won a gold medal from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality for protecting the local watershed from runoff. As Yezin Taha said, “Our technology opens up sites that would have been too expensive, too slow, or too environmentally risky to build just a few years ago. This recognition validates what we hear every day from developers — TRACE helps them move faster and cut costs while reducing their footprint.” 👏 You’ll be seeing our growing collection of awards on our booth this May at CLEANPOWER 2025 in Las Vegas. Congratulations to the Nevados team for this achievement. Onward and upward! #Solar #NoGrading #Sustainability #SaveOurSoil #TheWorldIsNotFlat
Great to see the cost savings numbers. We’ve spoken with more than one company that was unpleasantly surprised with the amount of earth moving they’ve had to do here in Virginia with our topography & the clay-based soils in our region. Completely obliterates budgets unexpectedly. Of course, less grading has #solargrazing benefits too.
