Single Axis Tracker

Location: Nashik, India

Project Overview

Located in Nashik, Maharashtra, India, this Single-Axis Tracker project represents an advanced tracking agrivoltaic installation. The system is specifically engineered to integrate high-value perennial fruit orchards and vine crops directly beneath dynamic solar arrays, optimizing both clean power output and agricultural production.

Project Objectives

  • Develop an intelligent agrivoltaic system tailored for fruit trees and vine crops.
  • Implement active agronomic light management using crop-specific tracking algorithms during critical growth stages.
  • Provide natural microclimate protection against extreme weather, reducing heat stress and water loss via evapotranspiration.
  • Maximize financial performance through SunSeed’s proprietary structural technology.

What We Delivered

  • Single-Axis Tracker Architecture: High-clearance tracking structures designed for dynamic light modulation.
  • Crop-Specific Tracking Algorithms: Smart actuation software that adjusts panel angles to ensure adequate photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) reaches crops during crucial phenological phases.
  • Proprietary Cable-Stayed Structure: Lightweight, high-span cable technology that minimizes ground footprints and material expenses.
  • Integrated Microclimate Protection: Structural canopy functioning as a physical barrier against severe weather, excess solar radiation, and extreme heat.
