LOWER COST, LOWER RISK, CLEAN ENERGY

Nomad solar trackers make solar power a cost-effective alternative to expensive fossil fuels and unreliable grids in remote locations. Quick to install and easy to move, Nomad solar trackers are ideal for a variety of applications including powering remote industries, water pumping, off-grid hybrid systems and short-term deployments.

Nomad solar trackers combine the gains from tracking the sun with the flexibility of mobility to deliver the lowest levelized cost of energy where project installation costs are high, or project life is short.

Manufactured by the leaders in solar innovation, Nomad trackers are specifically designed to be movable, durable and high performance.

KEY BENEFITS OF USING NOMAD

Easy to pack up and move without leaving a trace, which reduces the risk of the asset becoming stranded. Movable assets enable new business models, including short-term PPAs and rental solar.

MOVABLE

FAST DEPLOYMENT

Delivered to site prefabricated for fast and easy installation across a wide range of challenging site conditions. Installation is up to 3x faster than traditional solar trackers, which lowers labour costs and time on site.

TRACKS THE SUN

Follows the sun from East to West to generate up to 35% higher energy yield and flatter generation curves than fixed-tilt solar systems.

INCREASED YIELD

Mounted with bifacial modules that collect solar energy from the front and back to increase energy yield by up to 20% on top of solar tracking gains.

LOW-COST TRANSPORT

Compact design allows 400 solar panels mounted on tracker frames to be transported per 40-foot high-cube container, up to 40% higher transport density than traditional systems.

Prefabricated to the highest standards in a controlled factory environment, Nomad is built to survive tough conditions for over 25 years.

DURABLE

EXPERT DESIGN

Designed by recognized solar tracking industry experts, with over 2 GW of designs installed across North America, Europe, and South America.

Using our Nomad technology and unique expertise we partner with companies to evaluate and implement solar energy in a sustainable way.

We guide customers through the process of implementing solar including feasibility, financing, execution and operation.

Our focus on the full system lifecycle lowers costs and eliminates waste over the 25-year life of our equipment. Prefabricated solar simplifies design, installation and redeployment
