Solar tech company Array Technologies to equip 200 megawatt solar scheme in Indiana with tracking systems
The latest issue of the Business Outlook Newsletter, a subscriber-only service, delves into an exciting development in the renewable energy sector. The focus is on the Emerald Green Solar project in Indiana, where Array Technologies' OmniTrack solar trackers are making a significant impact.
The OmniTrack trackers, used extensively in the 200 MWac Emerald Green Solar project, are a testament to Array Technologies' commitment to American manufacturing. These trackers are manufactured entirely with domestic components, including locally rolled steel and torque tubes, meeting U.S. Treasury Department guidelines for domestic content.
This domestic manufacturing not only aligns with federal guidelines but also offers substantial financial benefits. The project qualifies for the maximum 28.7% Assigned Cost Percentage (ACP) tax credit incentives, including a 9.4% production ACP specifically for fully domestic content products.
The local economic benefits are equally impressive. The project has employed over 250 construction workers and contributes to the local economy through the use of Indiana-made materials and components.
Beyond the financial and economic advantages, the OmniTrack trackers also boast advanced solar tracking technology. They optimize solar panel positioning throughout the day for improved energy yield, contributing to the overall efficiency and performance of the large-scale solar installation.
Array Technologies' dedication to American manufacturing is evident in the Emerald Green Solar project. This marks the first full-site deployment of their 100% domestic content tracker solution, showcasing the company's innovation and market leadership in solar tracking systems.
