A marquee sponsor Casa dos Ventos is one of Brazil’s top renewable energy companies. They selected Nextracker™ to deliver advanced solar tracker systems to power their inaugural utility-scale solar projects. Solar tracker collaboration The collaboration will deploy 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of NX Horizon solar trackers at four new sites. It’s a big leap in the company’s new clean energy direction.
The chosen locations are expected to take advantage of Nextracker’s cutting-edge technology, including its TrueCapture yield management and control system. In addition, this technology helps to maximize energy production. With a combination of sensors and advanced machine learning, it allows for dynamic, real-time changes of tracker angles to overcome both varying lighting conditions and hilly terrain. This partnership is a great example of the increasing importance of trusted collaborations in the solar industry. These powerful partnerships have made companies hungry to make leaps in performance and reliability.
Expansion into Utility-Scale Solar
This partnership represents Casa dos Ventos’ first experience in utility-scale solar projects. With its homebase in Brazil, the renewable energy firm’s current portfolio features the Babilônia Sul hybrid solar-wind power plant in Bahia, Brazil. In order to diversify its energy offerings, Casa dos Ventos—which produces wind energy—has been adding new solar projects. This power play will boost its hand in the renewable energy race.
The innovative NX Horizon smart solar tracker system will ensure the highest possible energy production at all four sites. Its role is no less important to reaching this goal. These trackers respond to specific environmental conditions at each site. They’re designed for durability and high performance efficiency, supporting Casa dos Ventos to meet its renewable energy aspirations efficiently.
“We are honoured to support Casa dos Ventos with solutions that are engineered for resilience and optimised for each of its unique environmental site conditions.” – Nextracker
