Utility-scale solar projects demand structural systems that maximize energy production while reducing construction complexity and long-term operational risk. The Tracker Twin is engineered specifically for this environment, combining a dual-row architecture with a homokinetic drivetrain to deliver measurable performance, constructibility, and operational benefits at scale.

Yield Advantages Engineered for Utility Scale

The Tracker Twin is designed to optimize module positioning throughout the day while maintaining precise row synchronization. Its homokinetic drive system ensures uniform torque distribution and consistent angular movement, reducing mechanical stress and alignment deviation over time.



By maintaining accurate tracking geometry across both rows, the system improves irradiance capture during peak production windows and reduces performance losses associated with uneven terrain or structural deflection. The result is a higher annual energy yield and a more stable production profile across the full operating life of the asset.


Civil and Structural Efficiency

The dual row configuration of the Tracker Twin reduces the total number of foundations required per megawatt, directly lowering steel, pile installation, and foundation labor costs. Fewer foundations also translate into reduced drilling, less soil disturbance, and faster installation timelines.


The system is engineered to accommodate site variability with capabilities that reduce grading requirements and allow projects to better follow natural terrain. This minimizes earthwork, lowers civil costs, and reduces exposure to schedule risk driven by site preparation delays.


Operations and Maintenance Optimization

From an operations perspective, the Tracker Twin is purpose-built for utility-scale maintainability. The simplified drivetrain architecture reduces the number of moving components, lowering failure points and long-term maintenance demand.


Row-level access supports efficient inspections and mechanical servicing without disrupting adjacent tracker rows. The homokinetic design also minimizes torsional stress, extending component life and supporting predictable performance over decades of operation.


In addition, the system supports modern monitoring and control integration, enabling rapid identification of underperformance or mechanical issues and allowing operators to address concerns before they impact production.



Designed for Long-Term Asset Value

In the utility space, tracker selection is a strategic decision that impacts yield, capital efficiency, and operational certainty. The Tracker Twin delivers higher energy production, reduced civil scope, and streamlined maintenance through a design engineered explicitly for large scale solar deployment.


By aligning structural innovation with utility-scale realities, the Tracker Twin sets a higher standard for performance-driven solar infrastructure built to deliver value over the full lifecycle of the project.
