Validated by Leading Independent Engineers (IEs)
Nextracker has worked with leading global IEs to confirm utility project field production benefits and include TrueCapture gains into their base-case P50 estimates. Learn More about TrueCapture gains here
Industry-Leading Secure Network
TrueCapture’s software and hardware ecosystem have incorporated the best in the industry to keep unauthorized access outside of the data network. All databases and servers are hosted on a secure, state-of-the-art cloud computing environment.
Machine Learning for Optimized Tracking
Proprietary smart panel sensors provide real-time shading information on each tracker row, which is then processed by machine-learning software processes to build a virtual 3D model. TrueCapture’s intelligent control engine integrates the model with the latest meteorological data to calculate and send optimized tracking commands to every row.
Adopted by Solar Developers and Asset Owners Worldwide
TrueCapture has been deployed on more than 22 GW of utility solar plants worldwide, owned and operated by some of the leading developers and asset owners.
