Nextracker Supplies Solar Trackers for 1.5GW Brazil Projects

Nextracker Inc. has been selected by Casa dos Ventos to supply 1.5GW of solar tracker systems for four utility-scale projects in Brazil. The partnership marks Casa dos Ventos's first foray into solar energy and is part of its strategy to develop hybrid power plants combining solar and wind energy. Nextracker will provide its NX Horizon-XTR and NX Horizon solar tracker systems for the projects, which are designed to navigate challenging terrains and reduce costs.

Nextracker Inc. has been selected by Casa dos Ventos to supply 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of solar tracker systems for four utility-scale projects in Brazil. The partnership marks Casa dos Ventos' first foray into solar energy and is part of its strategy to develop hybrid power plants combining solar and wind energy. Nextracker will provide its NX Horizon-XTR and NX Horizon solar tracker systems for the projects, which are designed to navigate challenging terrains and reduce costs [1].

The four projects include Babilônia Sul (117 MW), Babilônia Centro (226 MW), Seriemas (540 MW), and Rio Brilhante (680 MW). These sites are located in the municipalities of Morro do Chapéu and Várzea Nova in Bahia, and Rio Brilhante and Seriemas in Mato Grosso do Sul. The selection of Nextracker's technology underscores Casa dos Ventos' commitment to integrating solar into its renewable portfolio and optimizing grid connections [2].

"Partnering with Nextracker gives us confidence in the long-term performance and reliability of our projects," said Thiago Rezende, construction and operations director at Casa dos Ventos. "Nextracker’s strong track record, focus on engineering excellence, and ability to deliver high-quality solutions make it a trusted technology partner for the future" [3].

The NX Horizon-XTR all-terrain tracker systems, purpose-built for hilly and undulating landscapes, will provide significant savings on earthworks and grading. All sites will incorporate Nextracker's TrueCapture yield management and control system, which uses advanced sensor technology and machine learning to continuously adjust tracker angles to ensure expected energy generation in dynamic lighting and uneven terrain conditions [1].

Nextracker has a strong and growing presence in utility-scale and distributed generation solar projects in Brazil and across Latin America, with over 130 GW shipped in over 40 countries worldwide. Brazil, which already sources over 80 percent of its electricity from renewables, has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and aims to significantly expand its solar capacity [1].
