"Building on our rapidly-growing base of over 150MW of solar trackers shipped worldwide, our global goal now is to supply 1 GW of projects over the coming year," he says.

"From our new home in Silicon Valleys Fremont, CA., we are very excited about the strong prospects of soon unveiling our next generation solutions for even more reliable, scalable and bankable solar power plants," says Gnanapa.

Realize the true potential of solar with Helios S1 tracking!

Our horizontal single axis tracker, the Helios S1, is one of the most effective and proven enablers of higher capacity for your solar array. The elegance of the design is in its fundamental simplicity. It permits the solar array to follow the movement of sun year-round from dawn to dusk, boosting energy harvest by 20% to 30% over fixed arrays. Our innovative, independent modular design makes PV power plants scalable, easy to install, and simple to maintain.

Loaded with smart controls and leveraging the power of cloud computing, Helios S1 tracks the sun to an utmost degree of precision. The Helios S1 also adapts positioning to avoid inter-row shading and permits performance monitoring across a host of devices. Our advanced alert systems assure that there is close to no downtime.
