Nextracker is proud to sponsor #WattItTakes as it relaunches as an independent monthly podcast. The first episode is now live, featuring host Emily Kirsch’s conversation with OhmConnect Cofounder Matt Duesterberg. In 2013, Matt joined a #Powerhouse hackathon to start working on the idea for OhmConnect. It’s come a long way since then. Last December, OhmConnect received a $100 million investment to build a 550 MW virtual power plant made up of hundreds of thousands of households across California. In addition to the usual podcast apps, you can listen to Matt’s episode here: https://lnkd.in/g8E6EPC

The #solar industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors in our economy, and we’re committed to sustainably and responsibly growing the industry. Transparency and trust in the #solarsupplychain is a critical part of that, and Nextracker is working with Solar Energy Industries Association and industry leaders on tools to provide customers with assurances that their solar products are made ethically. bit.ly/3nx2mqk

Americans understand that clean energy is a critical part of our nation’s economic future, and our economic recovery today. There is broad support for investing in an updated electric grid and a strong clean energy workforce, and we’re urging Congress to take action by prioritizing 21st century technology like solar + storage in the infrastructure package. https://bit.ly/2S557Un #AmericanJobs #TheSolarDecade #ActOnClimate #solar #climate #energy #infrastructure

Nextracker takes sustainability seriously, and over the past year, we have intensified our efforts to become a model sustainability company. One of the leaders of those efforts is our director of sustainability, Sarah Albert, who joined Nextracker from our parent company Flex last year. In our latest blog post, Sarah introduces herself and discusses our sustainability program, including updates on our work to assess Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions over the complete life-cycle of our products and to engage supply chain partners in our sustainability initiative and create a responsible procurement program. https://bit.ly/3n86I7b

For #solar to become the dominant form of power generation and an essential part of the #climatesolution matrix, the focus on the intertwined value propositions of #quality and #reliability needs to be more than a self-congratulatory promise. The number of components and products manufactured, shipped and deployed to achieve our gigawatt and ultimately terawatt aspirations will be mind-bogglinga potential risk management headache unless proactive and predictive quality and reliability practices are in place. In the latest #Nextracker blog post, our quality guru Kent Whitfield takes a look at how we’re addressing utility-scale #solartracker quality and reliability challenges for the gigawatt era and beyond. https://bit.ly/3cTbJxv

It’s been two weeks since the Clean Energy for America Inaugural Ball celebrating the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. We’re still buzzing over our rockin’ CEO Dan Shugar’s shredworthy rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. If you haven’t seen the video of his performance yet, check it out. Special thanks to AKON for his warm intro. https://youtu.be/8lQGcXRbyys

The solar industry is coming together today in a pledge opposing any forced labor in the solar supply chain. Nextracker, along with 175 solar companies, has joined the Solar Energy Industries Association’s effort to ensure solar products have no links to forced labor in Xinjiang or anywhere else in the world. We are firmly committed to creating and maintaining an ethical supply chain, and we will continue to work with SEIA and our partners to live up to the values of our industry. http://bit.ly/2VQeFRK

CEOs from #Nextracker and other leading solar and renewable energy companies and trade organizations have launched an initiative, Renewables Forward, to take action and develop concrete steps to increase workforce diversity and inclusion throughout the industry. Their goal is to identify tangible ways to work together to identify the change that is needed, commit to tackling it, and drive a larger industrywide partnership between CEOs and solar industry organizations. Other f...ounding members are #CapitalDynamics, #CypressCreekRenewables, #Generate Capital, #NautilusSolar, #NewColumbiaSolar, #SEIA, #SolSystems, and #VoltEnergy. From a mission perspective, the lack of diversity in solar means that whole segments of the American population are simply not participating in #climatesolutions and are being left out of the economic opportunities that these jobs create, said Dan Shugar, CEO and cofounder of Nextracker. Words are good, but we are overdue in our industry to do better in terms of minority and gender representation.

How much are businesses investing in solar energy? According to SEIA’s new Solar Means Business report, a lot. Led by tech and retail giants like Apple, Amazon, Walmart, Target and Google, the report tracks 8,358 MW of commercial solar capacity installed by U.S. businesses across more than 38,000 projects in 43 states.

Better federal policies are needed to incentivize solar growth on federal lands. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management should craft a policy that meets the unique economics of solar projects, complies with FLPMA, incentivizes smart #solar energy development on federal lands, and generates millions of dollars in revenues to the American people. Solar Energy Industries Association board member and #Nextracker CEO Dan Shugar makes the case before the #House @NRDems committee at noon ET tomorrow. Watch here: https://bit.ly/33QLRMm

Global EPC Shanghai Electric has partnered with Nextracker, a Flex company, on the biggest solar PV project in the MENA region.

For #bifacialPV to achieve its market potential, the ability to accurately model and measure bifacial performance is crucial. The good news is that high-level takeaways from our world-class bifacial testing laboratory are encouraging, both in terms of the magnitude of real-world bifacial gains as well as our ability to model these empirical gains in PVsyst. The first installment of a new blog series starts to unpack the findings of our seminal white paper, Quantifying Your Bifacial Gains. https://bit.ly/2FyUfYQ #Nextelligence #solar #solartrackers #NXPerformance
