Why the Distributed Generation market requires unique tracker solutions
Demand for PV solar-based distributed generation (DG) – including commercial and industrial (CI) and Community Solar – continues to grow in the US. DG developers are looking for robust tracker solutions providing greater energy returns and allowing them to work within short project development and build cycles.
DG projects have inherently shorter development cycles than utility-scale solar projects. As such, DG developers require superior responsiveness and faster lead times to achieve federal investment tax credit (ITC)-driven end-of-year deadlines. Permitting, interconnection and other up-stream development activities can also lead to squeezed time frames for tracker procurement and installation. Proven single axis tracker (SAT) technology, superior manufacturer responsiveness, and fast tracker delivery and installation are critical.
How DG Solutions addresses these needs
FTC Solar and AUI Partners are combining proven tracker technology and building core capabilities and services to address the DG market demands.
