Cambridge Energy Partners, the UK-based manufacturer of movable solar trackers, announced the successful deployment of the first single-axis Nomad solar PV tracker in Yukon, Northern Canada.
The innovative Nomad solar tracker is prefabricated, movable, and able to follow the sun through the day. The first of its kind, the Nomad is ideal for remote and challenging locations.
Solar trackers had not been successfully installed in Northern Canada until the advent of the Nomad tracker from Cambridge.
Following its installation in the Yukon by Solvest, Inc., remote locations can expect to avail the twin advantages of lower installation costs and higher energy yield, thus lowering the total cost of renewable energy.
“It is the only single-axis tracker we would consider suitable for Northern Canada, where ground conditions are unsuitable for traditional solar trackers,” said Ben Power, co-founder, Solvest, Inc. “The Nomad survived a harsh winter, where temperatures dipped below –40°C for multiple weeks and is on-track to generate up to 17% more energy per year than a standard fixed-tilt solar array.”
