Innovating Solar Tracking for the Energy Transition

As the global energy transition accelerates, solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is taking center stage. Axial, a Spanish company specializing in solar trackers for large-scale PV projects, is leading this transformation with innovative technology and a global footprint spanning 50 countries and around 1,000 executed projects.

Why Terrain Adaptability Matters

Solar PV installations often face challenging environments that require adaptable, durable tracker solutions. Axial addresses these challenges with:

  • Custom engineering for extreme climates and complex terrains.
  • A focus on installation efficiency and reduced civil work.
  • Trackers designed to handle steep terrain slopes up to 15% and varying site configurations.

Technological Breakthroughs & Safety Enhancements

Axial continuously integrates advanced features into its product line, emphasizing safety and durability. Notable innovations include:

  • The AxialTracker 2TT with the patented Blocking System® and the newer Multiblocking System® for enhanced rigidity and wind resistance.
  • Homokinetic technology introduced in 2020, enabling dual-row coordination without strict alignment—ideal for irregular terrain.
  • The 2024 launch of the AxialTracker SlopeSync: a dual-row, articulated tracker with a flexible torque axis composed of rotating bars, allowing precise ground adaptation without stressing the structure.

Global Growth & Major Projects

With over 120 million euros in sales in Q1 2024 alone and operations across Latin America, Asia, and EMEA, Axial is becoming a reference in the utility-scale solar market. Highlights include:

  • A 300 MW project in Italy requiring advanced engineering for diverse terrain.
  • A 350 MW plant in the UK—the largest of its kind—using Axial trackers.
  • A strong presence in Brazil with a local factory supporting the third-largest solar market globally.
  • Recent entry into the Saudi Arabian market, marking strategic EMEA expansion.

By combining technological leadership, global experience, and sustainability-driven design, Axial ensures its trackers meet the demands of modern utility-scale solar projects worldwide.
