Scientists develop a low-cost alternative to generate green hydrogen on a large scale using an innovative chemical process; discovery could revolutionize energy infrastructure, heavy industry, and sustainable transportation systems around the world.
Nextracker reported that it has supplied over 45 GW of its NX Horizon solar tracker, stating that it will help Elera Renováveis increase the performance levels of the Janaúba plant, reducing operational costs.
“Nextracker’s regional office in Brazil will support the project with engineering consulting, as well as commissioning services, asset management, and advanced data analysis for preventive maintenance. Installation teams will benefit from Nextracker’s PowerworX Academy installer training program to learn best practices on-site and at the company’s training center in Sorocaba, São Paulo.”, the company added.
Solar Power Plants Sector in the Country
Brazil is currently one of the largest growing solar energy hubs in the Latin America region, with about 7.4 GW of installed capacity. The state of Minas Gerais tops the list of Brazilian states with high solar energy generation and supply capacity.
Now, the state is preparing to make way for the solar tracker line from Nextracker, the world’s largest supplier of photovoltaic system technology.
