The biggest myth in utility-scale solar? That legacy trackers are the best choice for flat sites. For years, developers and EPCs have defaulted to the same tracker brands — assuming they’re the easiest, fastest, and most cost-effective option. But Ardagh Glass just built a solar plant on a perfectly flat, square site… and they didn’t choose a legacy tracker. They picked Nevados TRACE All-Terrain Trackers®. Not for the terrain. For the speed. 🔧 Here’s why: ✔️ 38% faster installation compared to traditional tracker designs ✔️ No long, rigid torque tubes to maneuver — our short, flexible sections are easier to install ✔️ Smaller crew, lower labor costs, and fewer delays Developers and EPCs — we get it. You stick with what you know because it works. But if switching to Nevados means finishing projects faster, cutting costs, and delivering solar plants on time — why wouldn’t you? If the fastest, most efficient option isn’t what you’re using today… is it time to rethink? Let’s discuss. ⬇️ 📸 by Ardagh Group #Solar #UtilityScaleSolar #TheWorldIsNotFlat
Looks good!
You can be very proud of this - great example!
