- Array collaborated with DNV Energy USA (DNV) to publish a comprehensive report titled “Energy Impact of Different Solar Tracker Wind Stow Strategies,” outlining the benefits of safe, passive wind stow technology in solar farms.
- The analysis focused on evaluating the energy losses associated with various tracker wind stow methods and considered multiple variables, including wind velocity stowing thresholds, wind direction, dwell time, stow exit wind velocity threshold, stow angle, and stow direction.
- The report’s findings highlight the improved energy production of passive stow strategies in all wind regions, particularly in medium to high wind regions.
- Key insights from the report include:
Proven Energy Gains: The study validates that Array's new safe, passive stow technology significantly boosts energy production during wind stow events, preserving 99.95% of energy on average—effectively minimizing losses to just 0.05%.
