Fixed tilt systems have advantages and disadvantages compared to trackers. Trackers lead to higher energy generation per module, and more even energy generation over the course of the day, reducing the need for energy storage.
GameChange Solar, a leading global supplier of solar mounting and tracking solutions for ground-mounted PV plants, has seen a significant surge in interest in its fixed-tilt racking systems over the past year. Several key factors drive the growing interest in fixed-tilt solar mounting solutions.
Fixed tilt systems have advantages and disadvantages compared to trackers. Trackers lead to higher energy generation per module, and more even energy generation over the course of the day, reducing the need for energy storage.
Fixed-tilt solar mounting systems are lower priced than trackers and are highly adaptable to undulating terrain, making them a good option for certain projects. As solar module prices continue to drop, system owners recognize the benefits of maximizing the number of modules on-site, which can lead to favorable project economics as well in some cases.
The GameChange Solar MaxSpan™ fixed tilt system has the fewest foundations in the industry, often half of competitors. The system also comes with a preassembled A frame, which leads to faster installation.
“We quoted over four times the amount of MW in fixed-tilt systems in 2023 from 2022, and the trend is continuing in 2024,” said Derick Botha, Chief Commercial Officer at GameChange Solar. “With the expertise garnered from over 4GW of fixed-tilt systems installed since 2012, we are well positioned to support our customers’ needs not only with trackers but with fixed-tilt racking solutions.”
