Nevados All Terrain Tracker Finishes First in Independent Ranking of Solar Trackers for Ease and Speed of Construction

The Nevados All Terrain solar tracker can be assembled and installed faster than any tracker in its class, according to a new report from Eclipse-M, a leading independent technical consultant for solar project construction. While other solar trackers require anywhere from 159 to 244 work hours per megawatt, using the Nevados tracker cuts assembly labor down to just 118 work hours per megawatt, Eclipse-M reported.

The All Terrain Tracker’s unique adaptability allows tracker bays to follow the natural terrain, eliminating the need for extensive site grading to install the tracker. This keeps the topsoil in place and prevents harmful runoff by maintaining the land’s natural permeability. It also significantly reduces construction time due to the grading process itself and the resulting muddy conditions which can slow down tracker assembly.

Nevados has found that the same flexible tolerances that allow its tracker to navigate terrain and eliminate grading also allow for very efficient installation times.
