Racking and Trackers: Quality Issues in the Factory and Design Considerations for Utility-scale Solar Installations
Utility-scale solar projects continue to face challenges with energy yield and premature equipment failures. In this pv magazine Webinar, Nicholas Hudson, Principal Engineer Engineering Services, and Jörg Althaus, Director Engineering and Quality Assurance Services, discuss common issues during production, what the downstream impact of those issues are, and action that can be taken to prevent these risks.
As large-scale solar expands across the globe, system performance and reliability are more important than ever. Utility-scale solar projects continue to face challenges with energy yield and premature equipment failures. Factors that may lead to these issues are quality and design issues in single-axis tracker system components. Failures and improper design of mounting systems can lead to underperformance, module damage, or worse, even a total loss of the PV plant.
