TerraTrak 1P is 15% faster to install




Installation speed is a key consideration when selecting a tracker partner. Design efficiencies can add up to time and money saved during the construction phase. This constructability report summarizes a field study completed by Eclipse-M that showcases TerraTrak's efficient design and engineering.



Some key factors leading to a 15% install savings include:

  • TerraTrak offers a high degree of adjustability (tolerances) for elevation and N / S alignment, which helps to reduce quality problems and re-work and speeds foundation installation
  • Up to 36” vertical elevation adjustment of the ground screws and A-frames
  • Pre-assembly of the motor to the gearbox (slew gear)
  • Bushing housing assembly (BHA) parts are kitted (zip tied) for convenience
  • Torque tubes can be longer than bay type trackers, extending further than the space between two piles. Therefore, fewer tubes are required.
  • One or two workers can perform most installation operations
  • TerraTrak 1P is designed so common construction hand tools can be used for all assembly steps
