Nextracker 的 NX Horizo​​n 跟踪器和 TrueCapture 软件将由 Signal Energy 部署 

加利福尼亚州弗里蒙特 – 2021 年 7 月 20 日 –   Intersect Power 是北美最大的公用事业规模可再生能源开发商之一，今天宣布 Signal Energy 成为 Nextracker提供的NX Horizo​​n 智能太阳能跟踪器的工程、采购和施工 (EPC) 以及 TrueCapture 产量优化软件服务的部署公司，用于德克萨斯州和加利福尼亚州总计 728 MW (DC) 的两个公用事业规模太阳能项目。

德克萨斯州的 415MW (DC) Radian 项目和加利福尼亚州的 313 MW (DC) Athos III 项目预计将于今年晚些时候开始建设，并将于 2022 年投入运营。 6 系列光伏 (PV) 太阳能组件将由 First Solar 提供, Inc. 也适用于这两个项目。

这些项目包括Nextracker 和 Intersect Power 在这两个州共同开展的第二套公用事业规模的太阳能项目。加州和德克萨斯州之前的五个项目组合的总装机容量超过 1.7 吉瓦 (DC)，目前正在建设中，很快将为累计相当于 357,000 户家庭供电。Signal Energy 是前五个投资组合中三个的 EPC 公司。

“随着 Intersect Power 转向资产所有权，我们与 Signal Energy 和 Nextracker 的长期合作使我们对这些项目的可靠执行能力充满信心，”Intersect Power 首席执行官 Sheldon Kimber 说。“像 TrueCapture 这样的技术可以优化工厂性能，提高每个项目的价值，并使我们能够在极端天气事件中保护我们资产的价值。”

Signal Energy 总裁 Ryan Johnson 表示：“我们的施工前团队在流程早期与 Intersect Power 合作，开发成本最低的能源解决方案，以完成 Radian 和 Athos III 的开发。“我们还与 Nextracker 合作，克服全球物流挑战，以维持整体项目进度，并期待与他们合作开展这两个出色的项目。”

Nextracker 首席执行官兼联合创始人 Dan Shugar 表示：“Intersect Power、Signal Energy 和 Nextracker 在几个主要的公用事业太阳能项目上有着良好的合作记录。“我们在这一最新产品组合上的合作将有助于加快清洁基础设施的建设，并强调我们的智能太阳能跟踪器技术在清洁能源转型中发挥的重要作用。”

这两个项目都将部署 Nextracker 的TrueCapture 高级跟踪器优化和控制软件，以在漫射光条件下捕获额外的能量增益。（有关 TrueCapture 的更多信息以及它如何解决逐行阴影挑战和阴天条件的信息，请在此处观看视频。）

Intersect Power Selects Signal Energy and Nextracker for Two Utility-Scale Solar Projects in Texas and California

Nextracker’s NX Horizon trackers and TrueCapture software to be deployed by Signal Energy 

FREMONT, CALIF – July 20, 2021 –  Intersect Power, one of North America’s largest developers of utility-scale renewable energy, today announced Signal Energy as the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm and supply of the NX Horizon smart solar trackers and TrueCapture yield optimization software from Nextracker for two utility-scale solar projects totaling 728 MW (DC) in Texas and California.

The 415MW (DC) Radian project in Texas and the 313 MW (DC) Athos III project in California are expected to begin construction later this year and will be operational in 2022. Series 6 photovoltaic (PV) solar modules will be supplied by First Solar, Inc. for both projects, as well.

These projects comprise the second set of utility-scale solar projects that Nextracker and Intersect Power have worked on together in the two states. With a combined installed capacity of more than 1.7 GW (DC), the previous portfolio of five projects in California and Texas are under construction and will soon be powering the cumulative equivalent of 357,000 homes. Signal Energy was the EPC firm on three of the five in the previous portfolio.

“As Intersect Power moves towards asset ownership, our long-standing collaborations with Signal Energy and Nextracker give us confidence in these projects’ ability to reliably perform,” said Sheldon Kimber, CEO of Intersect Power. “Technology like TrueCapture optimizes plant performance, enhances the value of each project, and allows us to protect the value of our asset in extreme weather events.”

“Our Pre-Construction team collaborated with Intersect Power early in the process to develop the lowest cost of energy solution to complete the development of Radian and Athos III,” said Ryan Johnson, President of Signal Energy. “We also partnered with Nextracker to overcome global logistics challenges to maintain overall project schedules and look forward to working with them on these two outstanding projects.”

“Intersect Power, Signal Energy, and Nextracker have a solid track record of partnership on several major utility solar projects,” said Dan Shugar, Nextracker CEO and co-founder. “Our cooperation on this latest portfolio will help accelerate the buildout of clean infrastructure and underscores the important role that our smart solar tracker technology plays in the clean energy transformation.”

Both projects will deploy Nextracker’s TrueCapture advanced tracker optimization and control software to capture additional energy gain during diffuse light conditions. (For more on TrueCapture and how it works to tackle both row-to-row shade challenges and cloudy conditions, watch the video here.)
