Initially offered in the United States, the low carbon tracker solution includes Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) documentation using a third-party verified analysis of environmental benefits, including reductions in carbon footprint, land use, water consumption and other metrics associated with the sourcing, manufacturing, delivery, and operation of solar trackers. Nextracker also achieved the Carbon Trust¹ Product Carbon Footprint label certification for its NX Horizon low carbon solar tracker system demonstrating it has met the global standard for carbon emission data collecting, evaluation and reporting methodology throughout the life cycle of its solar trackers.

“Our low carbon tracker delivers measurable results in decarbonizing solar power through circular and increasingly renewably powered steelmaking, optimized logistics, and careful selection of raw material providers,” said Dan Shugar, Nextracker founder and CEO. “We appreciate our customers helping us drive toward a cleaner, more robust supply chain to provide third-party verification for providers and consumers of solar power to meet their Scope 3 and other decarbonization goals and requirements.”

Nextracker secured initial orders for its newly launched NX Horizon low carbon tracker from several solar customers–both have committed to reduced carbon solar tracker systems for their U.S.-based solar power projects.

“Nextracker's commitment to advancing low carbon solutions exemplifies the innovation and leadership needed to propel the energy sector forward. At Sol Systems, we are proud to collaborate with partners like Nextracker who share our vision for a cleaner, more resilient energy landscape. Together, we are not just promoting low carbon technologies; we are setting the standards for tomorrow’s energy infrastructure,” said Yuri Horwitz, Sol Systems co-founder and CEO.
