IbVogt Deploying Nextracker NX Horizon-XTR for 150 MW Project

IbVogt decided to use Nextracker’s NX Horizon-XTR technology for the 150 MW Garnacha solar power plant in Spain. Patrick Zenker, global procurement director of IbVogt, said they needed a solar tracker that would have minimal environmental impact and help them acquire local permits, since the area had zero-grading requirements. Having a proven track record of 10-gigawatts made us feel secure and kept the risk to a minimum when choosing NX Horizon-XTR. NX Horizon-XTR enables solar panel rows to be adjusted to any uneven landscape, mirroring the shape of the ground. Its ability to adjust to the terrain makes it possible for developers to work on difficult areas that would not be possible without it. The NX Horizon-XTR system reduces expenses by decreasing the amount of grading work and postponements, making the permit process easier, and lessening the requirement for soil-related upkeep, according to Nextracker. Additionally, this system has a less significant effect on the environment since it leaves more soil undisturbed, which is beneficial to the local habitat and decreases the probability of soil erosion. The projects necessitate a reduced amount of steel in order to make the pilings longer, reducing the carbon footprint of the project. The Garnacha venture has increased Nextracker’s multiple gigawatt portfolio in Europe. The firm possesses branches in Seville and Madrid, with specialists functioning with patrons all over the continent who are experienced enough to assist throughout the whole project. This venture has a 12-year energy buying contract with Google and should commence production in October.
