State-of-Art Trackers Deployed in 69 MW SunEdison Solar Power Plant in Atacama Desert
FREMONT, CA, APRIL 7, 2015 - NEXTracker, Inc., designer and manufacturer of the worlds most advanced single axis PV trackers, today announced the completion of tracker commissioning for SunEdisons Javiera project in Chiles Atacama Desert. At 69.5 MW, the Javiera project is one of Latin Americas largest utility-scale solar power plants. SunEdison, the worlds largest renewable energy development company, developed and built the system.
"Thanks in part to NEXTrackers independent rows and reduced foundation requirements, our Javiera project was completed in record time - the mechanical aspects of this system were substantially complete in about 2 months," said Sasan Aminpour, Senior VP of Operations, SunEdison. "Collaborating with NEXTracker and building upon best practices pioneered during the construction of our nearby Crucero plant, SunEdison and NEXTracker refined lean construction techniques to dramatically accelerate deployment of a large power plant. NEXTrackers careful attention to component quality and customer support further facilitated the rapid installation."
"Were thrilled to have executed another successful project with SunEdison, a top leader in Latin American and global solar," said Dan Shugar, CEO of NEXTracker. "NEXTrackers higher energy yield and installation cost savings have now been proven across multiple large scale projects in Latin America. NEXTrackers unimpeded row design also provides valuable cost savings for panel cleaning in the dusty Chilean desert, and minimizes site grading requirements."

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide
Introducing RockIt Smart Slide - the ultimate solution for fast and easy installation of the rail-less RockIt racking system on composition shingle roofs. Smart Slide conforms to UL 441 and TAS 100 (A)-95 for wind and wind-driven rain, providing a super-strong watertight seal that is achieved through compression, in most cases without the need for additional sealant. The waterproofing sealant is embedded deep into the granules of the shingle, thanks to the integrated flexible foam layer that provides cushioning. This ensures a secure fit that conforms to any architectural-style shingle. With UltraGrip Technology™, you can rely on a secure installation, as it absorbs the movement created by thermal expansion and contraction. The pre-installed sealing pads are compatible with all composition shingle roofs, making it the ideal choice, even in ambient temperatures as low as 5 degrees.
