Nextracker, a US-based solar tracker manufacturer, has shipped the first US-manufactured solar trackers achieving 100% domestic content value under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). These trackers will be used in SB Energy’s Pelican’s Jaw project, a 570 MW solar and 954 MWh storage facility currently under construction by SOLV Energy. Since 2021, Nextracker has invested in US-based manufacturing infrastructure to enhance supply chain resilience, establishing or expanding over 25 factories with an annual capacity of more than 30 GW. This localized supply chain reduces lead times, improves logistics, and ensures product quality throughout project lifecycles, says SOLV Energy. As per Nextracker, the initiative also reduces carbon emissions by using domestically produced clean steel.
