Hail on Earth: How Solar Trackers are Preventing and Mitigating Hail Damage
Hail damage creates a disproportionate level of risk to utility-scale solar. Safeguarding PV modules from hail events is critical to financially protecting a site, and solar tracker innovations are increasingly important assets in hail protection. Why the extra focus on hail? A 2025 Solar Risk Assessment by kWh Analytics showed that while hail makes up only 6% of total loss incidents, it accounts for 73% of financial losses in U.S. photovoltaic solar projects. With extrem

5 Ways Genius Tracker TF (Terrain Following) Delivers Value on Challenging Sites
The sun may be a near-infinite resource, but available land for solar projects is all too limited. As flat, obstacle-free sites grow scarce, developers and EPCs are turning to increasingly complex terrain — and discovering that traditional tracking technology wasn’t built for it. Outdated tracker designs can constrain site selection, drive up grading costs, and slow construction. To help developers and EPCs build smarter and faster, we built Genius Tracker™ TF, a terrain-foll

Smarter Site Management: 6 Ways GeniusHub Simplifies Utility-Scale Solar
Like sunflowers, modules on tracking systems turn towards the sun to maximize energy production. Unlike sunflowers, we can’t rely on their instincts. For utility-scale projects, optimizing power production entails managing the constant movement of thousands of tracker rows, sensors, and controllers spread across a vast site throughout each day. Keeping them aligned, responsive, and efficient takes coordination. That coordination is what we built GeniusHub to deliver. We desi

Repowering to the Rescue: How to Restore Productivity to Aging Utility-Scale Solar
Utility-scale solar projects are hitting mature lifecycle stages in large numbers. The industry has boomed in the past few decades, but this means those pioneering early projects are facing aging structures, component degradation, and productivity loss. Aging systems underperform by 5-10% below their initial P50 value, reducing ROI while increasing O&M costs. And due to massive technological advancements in solar since the turn of the century, 15+ year old projects just can’

Increasing energy yield in challenging terrain and high wind scenarios
Single-axis trackers enhance solar energy yield by following the sun, even in challenging environments. Progressive wind stow and terrain optimized backtracking strategies significantly reduce energy loss, improving performance in high winds and uneven terrains. With the proliferation of solar power plants worldwide, single axis trackers are proving an invaluable resource. Rotating solar panels throughout the day to follow the sun increases energy yield, providing more consis
