From the drawing board to real-world photovoltaic projects across the globe, the new slew drive head design has emerged as one of the most significant innovations in the latest generation of our 1P solar trackers. This breakthrough delivers tangible value for both our customers and their projects.

A Major Leap in Reliability and Optimization

As Pablo Suárez, Head of Project Engineering at Gonvarri Solar Steel, explains:

“This new design represents a major step forward in reliability and optimization. It allows for a much more even distribution of loads along the entire tracker structure, which translates into a significant reduction in total weight.”

The Challenge: Combining Advanced Engineering with Field Performance

Achieving this milestone wasn’t simple. The challenge was to integrate:

• Advanced topological optimization
• Structural design using high-performance technical plastics and aluminum alloys All while keeping the essentials in mind: ease of installation, smooth operation, and efficient maintenance.

The result? A clear advantage for EPCs and key players in the solar industry, offering robust, lightweight, and cost-effective solutions.

Why This Innovation Matters for Solar Energy

This new design not only improves structural efficiency but also:

• Reduces logistics and installation costs
• Enhances durability under extreme conditions
• Optimizes overall tracker performance
