GameChange Solar (GCS) has reported the accelerated life cycle testing of its Genius Tracker drive system. The results revealed an anticipated 40-year maintenance-free design life for the system. The system’s durability was confirmed during a 40-year accelerated life cycle testing, in accordance with IEC 62817 standards. The linear actuator, a self-contained component, is pivotal to the low-maintenance approach, eliminating the need for regreasing. This design choice significantly reduces operations and maintenance expenses, enhancing the cost-effectiveness of ground-mounted PV plants and contributing to a lower Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).
