Nextracker announced it has shipped and delivered the industry’s first U.S.-manufactured solar trackers that are expected to achieve 100% domestic content value under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This milestone marks a significant advancement in localizing the solar supply chain within the United States.
The initial project to receive these domestically manufactured trackers is SB Energy’s Pelican’s Jaw project, a large-scale 570 MW solar and 954 MWh storage facility. This delivery underscores Nextracker's capability to meet stringent domestic content requirements.
This capability offers substantial benefits to U.S. customers, enabling them to qualify for a higher score on domestic content and potentially capture the 10% bonus Investment Tax Credit (ITC). For a typical 100 megawatt system, this bonus ITC can be valued at approximately $10 million, equivalent to the entire cost of the tracker system.
