Driving Solar Innovation in the U.S. Energy Landscape
Soltec, a Spanish solar tracker specialist, is leading the charge in the U.S. renewable energy market through technological innovation, strategic partnerships, and a deep understanding of the American solar landscape.
Why U.S. Solar Market Matters
The U.S. offers unique conditions for solar energy development:
- Favorable policy support, particularly through the Inflation Reduction Act.
- High solar irradiation and vast land availability.
- A projected solar capacity exceeding 250 GW by 2030.
Soltec entered the market in 2015 and has since made the U.S. its second-largest market, aiming to boost its industrial division sales to 50%.
Strategic Focus and Adaptation
Soltec tailors its approach to meet the regulatory and geographic diversity across U.S. states:
- Customized solar tracker solutions based on terrain and weather.
- Adherence to strict safety and quality standards through robust certifications.
- Strengthened local supplier networks for supply chain reliability.
Technology-Driven Solutions
Soltec showcases two advanced tracker models optimized for the U.S.:
- SFOne US: A high-density single-row tracker with smart algorithms (TeamTrack, Diffuse Booster, Dy-WIND) to enhance energy capture and reduce operational costs.
- SF7 US: A two-in-vertical system that increases energy output by 6.2%, adapts to up to 17% slopes, and features hail protection and row-specific tracking for superior terrain performance.
Leading Projects Across the Nation
Soltec has installed over 2 GW of trackers across the U.S., showcasing its adaptability in projects from Virginia to Hawaii:
- 92 MW in Virginia: Fast-tracked in 6 months, powering over 20,000 homes.
- 302 MW in Missouri: Soltec’s largest U.S. project, set to serve 100,000 homes and cut 400,000 tons of CO₂ annually.
- 56 MW in Hawaii: Built to endure extreme wind conditions, now powering 15,000 homes.
By delivering high-efficiency, durable solar tracking systems, Soltec cements its role as a pivotal player in America’s clean energy transition.
