Nextracker ships first 100% US-made solar trackers under the IRA

Nextracker just set a milestone in US clean energy manufacturing: It has delivered the first-ever solar trackers expected to meet 100% domestic content requirements under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

These US-made trackers are now on their way to power SB Energy’s Pelican’s Jaw solar project in Kern County, California. (Solar trackers, typically used in commercial, ground-mounted arrays, help maximize solar production by following the sun throughout the day.)

Pelican’s Jaw, a 570 MW solar farm paired with 954 MWh of energy storage, is being built by SOLV Energy and highlights a turning point for renewable energy manufacturing in the US. By achieving 100% domestic content value, Nextracker is proving that large-scale clean energy projects can source critical components entirely within the US.
