GameChange Solar’s Genius Tracker™ Racking Verified Compatible by Intertek for 2kV Solar Projects
Trackers successfully deployed in Southeastern US pilot project
February 26, 2025 - Norwalk, CT — GameChange Solar (GCS), a leading global supplier of solar tracker and fixed-tilt racking technology, announced that its Genius Tracker™ racking system has been verified compatible with approved components by Intertek for operation at 2,000 V (2 kV) and successfully installed and commissioned with 5 MW worth of 2 kV modules at a site in the Southeastern United States. This milestone positions GameChange Solar at the forefront of the industry's transition to higher-voltage systems, which drive greater efficiency and cost savings.

Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the Genius Tracker under UL 2703 standards to assess the impact of the increased voltage. The review confirmed that no additional testing or modifications were required, verifying that the Genius Tracker racking system is compatible with 2 kV systems.
"Validating compatibility for 2 kV operation is a major step forward for the industry," said Scott Van Pelt, Chief Engineer at GameChange Solar. "Our successful deployment in the Southeast U.S. demonstrates that GameChange Solar's Genius Tracker is ready for the next generation of high-voltage solar projects, offering greater efficiency and lower system costs."
The transition from 1,500 V to 2,000 V technology enhances electrical efficiency by increasing voltage rather than current, reducing voltage drop, and allowing more energy to reach the inverter. This shift significantly lowers material costs, improves power handling capacity, and reduces the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE), making utility-scale solar more competitive.
With the successful commissioning of this pilot project, GameChange Solar is paving the way for broader industry adoption of 2kV systems, reinforcing its leadership in solar tracker innovation.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
