Nevados

As suitable land for solar projects becomes increasingly scarce and expensive, many are asking: How can we continue to expand clean energy production? The answer: Our newly announced TRACE All Terrain Tracker™. With its unrivaled terrain following capabilities, we're not minimizing but ELIMINATING the need for site grading, unlocking the potential of sites previously deemed unsuitable due to challenging terrain. The TRACE tracker is redefining where solar can go, using its innovative hardware design to work with the natural contours of a site, not destroy them. 🏔️ 26% slope change at every pile, for up to 37% total slopes 🚧 Elimination of site grading 🌞 Zero-Shade Backtracking With state governments tightening regulations on solar land use, the TRACE tracker opens up new frontiers for clean energy production while also eliminating the need for land leveling, preserving biodiversity and soil quality. Check the comments below to read Will Norman's recent coverage of the TRACE tracker in PV Tech, showing how Nevados is opening up more usable land for solar projects in the face of land constraints and growing regulation. #TheWorldIsNotFlat #NoGrading #SolarTracker #LandUse #TRACE

After many years, very pleased to be on site this week with our team at the ribbon cutting for the start of power delivery at the Sunlight Road Solar project in southeast Louisiana. We were joined by our partners at Entergy, Primoris Services Corporation, Nevados, and Bayerische Landesbank. Our DESRI Development team started this site as a greenfield development project in 2018 -- and six years later, we are seeing renewable power produced. That is after a hurricane hit the region, tariffs were introduced, and a permitting environment that is more challenging every day. The energy transition doesn't happen fast and is not without its speed bumps. This project will deliver clean electricity to serve customers across Louisiana for years to come. Many were involved in this project over the last six years, congratulations to all involved -- incredibly proud of the entire DESRI team's resilience and tenacity. DESRI Inc., D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments, L.L.C.

70 MWdc installed in 3½ months, and the construction manager said it was one of the easiest solar projects he’s ever built. Time spent on grading and revegetation: Roughly zero. Tolerances at the steel piles: Best-in-class.  Homes powered: 11,500.  Topsoil removed: None. This was the scene when Entergy Louisiana cut the ribbon this week on the new Sunlight Road Solar project in Washington Parish, 90 minutes north of New Orleans along the Mississippi border. This solar project features our Nevados TRACE All Terrain tracker technology. We call our system "All Terrain" because there’s no amount of terrain that is too much for our system. We adapt solar to the landscape, not the other way around. As you can see behind me, this site is rolling hills. One of the critical pieces of our system is topsoil retention. That helps facilitate a faster, easier construction schedule. It also maintains the fertility of the site for future generations. Phillip May, President and CEO of Entergy (left), buyer of the electricity, listened from the front row as I spoke to the crowd, including project leaders from The D. E. Shaw Group (DESRI) and the contractor, Primoris Services Corporation We’ve had a long relationship with both DESRI and Primoris. Later May wielded the scissors next to Hy Martin, Chief Development Officer for DESRI, and me. Nevados is now manufacturing our steel components in East Texas. We’re very grateful to DESRI for bringing this steel to Louisiana. We’re working together to bring it all over the country, and someday soon, all over the world. #TheWorldIsNotFlat #NoMoreGrading #SolarIsNow 

Come find us at the Virginia Clean Energy Summit this week! Stop by booth #15 to see how Nevados is transforming utility-scale solar deployment across Virginia's varied terrain. Make sure to catch our VP of Business Development, Greg Wolfson, on the "Innovations in Clean Energy Beyond Virginia" panel (Oct 16, 11:30 AM) and meet our Director of Business Development, Joe Bollinger, who will be at the booth for Q&A and demos of our terrain-following TRACE Tracker. We’re excited to connect with industry leaders and showcase how Nevados’ technology is opening up new frontiers for solar in Virginia. See you at booth #15! #TheWorldIsNotFlat #NoGrading #VACES2024

Thank you to everyone who joined us last Thursday for our fundraiser with Empowered By Light at The Junction in Mill Valley! The turnout was amazing! With a total of $5000 raised so far your efforts have already made a huge impact. Every dollar donated will go directly towards outfitting Sichimwa Primary School with solar and storage solutions, providing sustainable power to classrooms and enhancing educational opportunities for students. A special thank you to Empowered By Light for their incredible work and for allowing us to contribute to their mission. They aren’t just building solar projects – they are empowering communities and brightening futures.

It's a great evening for pizza, beers, and hanging out with our Bay Area solar friends!! Come one come all tonight in Mill Valley (just north of SF). Nevados is hosting a fundraiser to help get solar installed at a school in Zambia. This project is being developed by our friends at Empowered By Light, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing clean energy solutions to communities in need. Register below and the pizza, brews, and solar friends will be waiting for you!! https://lnkd.in/gjfYsCfP

Don't forget to join us on October 3rd from 5:30 - 7:30 PM for a special Happy Hour event at The Junction in Mill Valley, with free pizza and beer! We're thrilled to be partnering with Empowered By Light to raise funds to bring solar power and energy storage to the students of Sichimwa Primary School in Zambia. Your support will help illuminate classrooms and empower children in need to learn and grow! See the attached flyer for event details. We look forward to seeing you there! #TheWorldIsNotFlat #NoGrading #EmpoweredByLight

Free pizza and beer for a good cause! Join us next week Thursday, October 3rd, from 5:30 - 7:30p as we host a Happy Hour event at The Junction in Mill Valley to raise funds for the students of Sichimwa Primary School in Zambia.
