Combining industry-leading solar tracker and advanced foundations technology, Nextracker delivers comprehensive solutions to optimize solar development across all soil types

Nextracker (Nasdaq: NXT), a global leader in solar tracker technology, today announced NX Foundation Solutions which includes the introduction of NX Anchor™— a solar tracker foundation system designed to optimize ground-mount solar project development across a wide range of soil conditions. NX Anchor further expands Nextracker’s solar foundations portfolio following the company’s acquisitions of leading-edge foundation company Ojjo in June and Solar Pile International’s foundations business in July. NX Foundation Solutions enable quicker, safer, and more efficient solar project development on a wide range of soil types for EPC and developer customers.

NX Foundation Solutions also include a suite of services comprising a team of experts providing geotechnical reviews, on-site testing, foundation design, product selection, proprietary equipment, and installation support. This new service offering comprises drilling and pile driving equipment training, sales, leasing, and support, including the Ojjo Truss Driver™. The Truss Driver is a patented all-in-one drilling and pile driving machine equipped with GPS, enabling speed and precision backed by proven experience from driving more than one million foundation piles.

“We are thrilled to now offer comprehensive and innovative solar foundation solutions to our customers and partners,” said Dan Shugar, founder and CEO of Nextracker. “Delivering high quality, cost-effective solutions that help to improve productivity, safety, and accelerate project timelines, and enable light-on-land construction practices are objectives of this program. NX Foundation Solutions provide our developer and EPC customers with a full range of technologies and services across a broad range of soil types from rocky to soft, and virtually everything in between.”

“Nextracker’s expansion into the foundation space helps reduce the complexity and risk of our projects,” said Stephen Jones, President of Renewables, Primoris Services Corporation. “Based on our experience, Nextracker is offering value-added foundation solutions for the industry as projects become increasingly complex with challenging subsurface conditions. These solutions can streamline the design, procurement, and installation process while reducing the risk profile born by EPC contractors and developers. We believe the industry will benefit.”

With the rapid growth of the solar industry in recent years, more projects are being developed on sites that do not offer flat land with ideal soil conditions. Depending on the project site, Nextracker’s foundations can result in up to 50% less steel and up to 70% shallower embedment depth than traditional pilings. This can help lead to reductions in cost and schedule contingencies, lower pile refusal and remediation rates during construction, improvements in project development and construction timelines, and a safer working environment while lowering the impact to native soils, creating a “light on land” approach.

With over 100 GW of trackers and over 50 GW of compatible foundations shipped, Nextracker’s new foundations portfolio is designed to work seamlessly with its high performance solar trackers, offering customers a cost-optimized integrated solution that installs faster and minimizes risks when dealing with complex soil conditions including expansive, soft, loose, rocky, or frost-prone soil.
