NX Horizon-XTR: The Advanced Solar Tracker for All Terrains

The NX Horizon-XTR™ by Nextracker is a groundbreaking solar tracking system designed to follow the contours on varied terrain. Unlike conventional trackers that rely on straight-line row designs, NX Horizon-XTR adapts to the natural landscape, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming grading. This advanced design offers significant benefits, including cost savings, environmental conservation, and reduced project risks. The latest version, XTR-1.5, enhances its ability to conform to sloping terrain, further expanding opportunities for solar development on challenging sites.

As solar projects expand into regions with less flat land, NX Horizon-XTR provides an ideal solution for undulating and rolling landscapes. Traditional methods for managing uneven terrain involve expensive grading and increased foundation steel, which can strain project budgets. In contrast, NX Horizon-XTR significantly reduces or even eliminates the need for tracker-related grading, achieving up to 3,000 cubic yards of cut and fill reduction per megawatt (MW) and saving up to 9,000 lbs of foundation steel per MW. Additionally, it avoids the re-vegetation of up to 5 acres of land per MW, which also helps protect the environment.

One of the standout benefits of NX Horizon-XTR is its ability to reduce the environmental impact of solar projects. By minimizing grading, it helps preserve native vegetation and topsoil, prevents habitat disruption, and mitigates long-term soil erosion and stormwater runoff. This makes the system a sustainable choice for developers concerned about their ecological footprint.

In addition to environmental benefits, NX Horizon-XTR reduces project risks at various stages, from planning to operation. It simplifies permitting, reduces the risk of delays caused by grading, and helps avoid unforeseen costs. With over 3 GW of installations worldwide, NX Horizon-XTR is a proven and reliable technology.
