The DuraTrack HZ v3 builds on ATI’s 25 year record of delivering low
risk solar tracking solutions that provide highest project values. ATI’s
design philosophy focuses on innovations that minimize lifetime project
costs, including installation, O&M, and risk-related financing and
project bonding costs.
The DuraTrack HZ v3 offers innovative features
found nowhere else in the industry – from a single-bolt per module
mounting bracket that dramatically reduces module installation time, to
improving system uptime and reliability with the industry's lowest
number of motors and controls per MW. The new v3 tracker incorporates a
ground-breaking passive wind load mitigation system to reduce both cost
and risk, remaining steadfast to the time-proven ATI design philosophy
of no active wind stow requirement. The passive wind mitigation feature
eliminates storm survival risks, complexities and maintenance issues
associated with active stow components and UPS systems while providing
significant cost benefits. The patent pending v3 design enables more
modules per row, fewer columns, automatic row alignment, and snow or
sand dune obstruction protection on an automatic and individual row
basis.
“We minimized loads, wasted space, fasteners, number of motors,
controls, columns, as well as maintenance cost and risk, while
maximizing power production, reliability
and investor returns. Version 3 is a robust 30-year asset that allows
our customers to achieve the lowest LCOE possible,” explained ATI
founder and CEO, Ron Corio. “We are gearing up our production capacity
to meet 4 GW of annual demand, of which a significant percentage is
already booked. We appreciate the market’s overwhelming acceptance of
our new product.”
After nearly 2 years of development and testing, Array recently
commissioned the first 1.2 MW DuraTrack HZ v3 site in northern New
Mexico. High-volume shipments on the new version product will begin in
July. The DuraTrack HZ v2.5, ATI’s current version system, will remain in production for select applications.
