Terrasmart’s Flexible 1P Tracker Speeds Experimental Success

Utilities across the country are managing intermittent renewable integration with varying levels of success — and with good reason. Meeting resource adequacy, reliability, and resilience is a complex business that requires flexibility and inventive solutions.

Navigating Slopes for a Competitive Edge

Terrasmart design engineers use SIFT to help developers and EPCs bring in system design, performance, and financial modeling early in the project cycle. SIFT helps them identify the right racking system and optimize the layout to increase energy yield, returns, and value.

Making a Splash With Solar Energy

The initial pull test and geotechnical report showed no traces of underground rock. However, during the installation, our crew found a vein of shale approximately two to three feet down on certain segments of the site.

Agriculture + Solar, the Perfect Pair for Modern Farming

The 21st century has ushered in the era of commercial renewable energy. On each project, owners, end-users, developers, and subcontractors explore numerous options to maximize the efficiency of each plot of land.

6 Questions to Ask When Choosing a Smart Tracker Software

With engineering improvements and better installation techniques making trackers more robust and adaptable, the next stage in tracker evolution will center around controls and software.

On-time Foundation Installation on Flood-prone and High Slope Site

When assessing the site, the installation team noticed some challenges that would make foundation installation difficult—a 21% north and south slope, rocky terrain, and drainage swales.

Minimizing Weather-Related Risks with an Expert

Solar client SunCommon engaged Terrasmart to build two surface lot canopies for Alchemist Brewery, a craft brewing company catering to the tourism industry in Stowe, Vermont. The project had to be optimized for the region’s rough weather.

Gibraltar Expands Solar Capabilities

Gibraltar acquired Sunfig and TerraSmart to provide an end-to-end solution for our customers, which will bring greater value to solar projects of any size, any type and in any location.

Frost Heave and Solar Arrays

For continuous racks, the vertical deformation results in additional stresses on the racking system and can cause a variety of issues such as cracked modules; solar panel distortion; damage to conductor; connection failures; and more.

MASTERING WIND HOW TO DESIGN AND BUILD OPTIMIZED TRACKER SYSTEMS THAT STAND THE TEST OF TIME

A reliable solar tracker system should not only perform well on challenging sites, but also weather storms and strong winds. High wind events can damage assets on solar tracker sites—resulting in higher remedial costs and increased downtime. Thus, the ideal tracker solution should be aerodynamically stable during bad weather to mitigate risks and maximize returns. But designing trackers for strong winds presents its own challenges. Due to the complex characteristics of wind turbulence on solar arrays, traditional wind tests based on standard building codes often fail to capture the nuances of how different scenarios might affect a tracker’s design. A comprehensive approach—one that not only accounts for a specific tracker design, but also tests for various possibilities that may arise from different wind loading and aerodynamic scenarios—is key to ensuring the success and longevity of your tracker project.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BUILDING SOLAR IN THE MIDWEST

When it comes to developing PV sites in the Midwest, every great opportunity comes with an equal number of challenges. Developers typically face two major setbacks in this region: heavy snow loads and frost heave. Failing to plan for these harsh weather challenges could lead to disastrous consequences such as increased remedial costs, asset downtime, and loss of power purchase agreement (PPA) competitiveness. What makes the Midwest so challenging is its variability. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for the region as sites in Ohio vs. Michigan or even Kansas vs. Minnesota can be drastically different. For this reason alone, it is important to find a partner that has a broad portfolio and can adapt to site-specific concerns.
