FTC Solar debuts dual-row tracker with 17.5% slope tolerance

FTC Solar has released a dual-row configuration for its 1P Pioneer Tracker™, built to operate on terrains with up to 17.5% East-West slope. This design supports modular configurations—4x4, 3x3, and 2x2—that increase energy density by up to 23% without requiring additional land. The use of a shared drive tube reduces the number of components and lowers installation complexity. The tracker can be used in combination with single-row systems on the same site, offering layout flexibility. The configuration reduces grading needs and material usage, potentially lowering overall project costs. It is intended for utility-scale solar projects in locations with uneven or challenging landscapes, where site preparation is typically more demanding.
