Revolutionary 77-Degree Stow: ARRAY Technologies Innovates Enhanced Hail Protection Revolutionary 77-Degree Stow: ARRAY Technologies Innovates Enhanced Hail Protection

Written By Michael Gary Scott

In a revolutionary move, ARRAY Technologies, a global leader in utility-scale solar tracking, proudly unveils its latest development – the 77-degree stow capabilities for its tracker systems. This groundbreaking innovation introduces the steepest stow angle for protective hail stow globally, setting a new standard in the solar industry.

Pioneering Weather Protection

Amidst the increasing frequency of multi-million-dollar hail damage and the heightened need for risk management in the solar sector, ARRAY Technologies steps up to the challenge. The introduction of a high-tilt angle stow position aims to preemptively position modules at a high angle before a hail event, significantly decreasing the risk of damage.

Investing in Resilience

“Array continues to invest in new technology to ensure our trackers excel in any weather, through any disruption, all while remaining cost-effective for our customers,” remarked Kevin G. Hostetler, CEO of ARRAY. This development underscores ARRAY’s commitment to providing cutting-edge technologies that tackle real-world challenges in solar energy production.

Leading the Charge

Built on the proven ARRAY DuraTrack design and bolstered by the ARRAY SmarTrack Hail Alert Response software, this high tilt tracker represents a pivotal step in bolstering the resilience and effectiveness of solar energy systems, particularly in hail-prone regions. With an established track record including the Hail Alert Response software and SkyLink tracker system, ARRAY continues to push the boundaries of innovation in extreme weather solutions.

Next-Level Capabilities

Key Features and Availability
