Rethinking Solar Installation: How Preassembly and Modular Design Are Cutting Costs and Timelines

Written by Negin Hashemi | Feb 3, 2026 6:56:46 AM

As global demand for solar energy continues to grow, the industry requires more efficient, modular, and resilient solar trackers to support large-scale deployment. IDEEMATEC is addressing this need with its L:TEC® Family of trackers and an innovative installation strategy designed to reduce costs and project timelines.

Innovation in Installation: The Preassembly Advantage

In response to market pressure, IDEEMATEC has transformed its solar installation process by focusing on preassembled components and standardization. This strategy significantly reduces on-site assembly time and minimizes installation errors by ensuring greater precision through controlled offsite assembly. The key benefits include:

  • Time Savings: The streamlined process can reduce installation time by 18% to 23%.
  • Simplified Logistics: With up to 33% fewer unique components, the need for specialized tools is diminished, and part handling on-site becomes significantly easier.
  • Enhanced Scalability: The standardized process allows developers to deploy trackers quickly and consistently across various sites, accelerating the learning curve for installation teams.

The L:TEC® Tracker Family: Tailored Solutions

Built on a unified platform, the L:TEC® family offers three distinct trackers designed for specific applications, ensuring that all stakeholders, from developers to investors, have a reliable solution.

L:TEC® 1P (Utility-Scale): Recognized as a highly advanced one-in-portrait (1P) tracker, this model is engineered for utility-scale applications.

  • Its patented decoupled drive system redistributes mechanical stress, ensuring stable performance and higher yields.
  • It is designed to withstand harsh conditions, including wind speeds up to 400 km/h, and uses a flat stow strategy to automatically secure itself in adverse weather.
  • The design supports row lengths of up to 260 meters and accommodates up to 240 modules, making it ideal for large installations while minimizing electrical components and maintenance.

L:TEC® 2P (Distributed Generation amp; Land-Constrained): This two-in-portrait (2P) tracker is an ideal choice for solar plants with land limitations and for distributed generation projects.

  • It features a modular architecture that allows for seamless scalability as projects expand.
  • It offers high energy density with row lengths up to 195 meters and up to 360 modules per string.
  • A multiple locking system eliminates torsional instability, while its design requires the lowest number of foundation piles per megawatt, making it suitable for challenging soil conditions.

L:TEC® Agri-2P (Agrivoltaics): This is IDEEMATECs latest tracker, designed specifically for agricultural applications to enable dual land use.

  • It allows farmers to cultivate crops while simultaneously generating solar energy, creating additional income streams.
  • The design provides adequate shade for crops, which can enhance growth in certain climates.
  • It features an integrated control system accessible via a mobile app, allowing for real-time adjustments based on weather conditions, ensuring reliable operation even in remote areas.
