A global provider of solar tracker and fixed-tilt racking systems, GameChange Solar, unveiled FlexRail, a mounting system particularly designed to enhance the flexibility of module selection. FlexRail caters to the industry's most pressing challenges: solar module supply volatility driven by tariffs, logistics delays, and global fluctuations. Projects frequently face costly redesigns or field modifications when PV modules change after trackers have been manufactured or installed.
GameChange Solar's FlexRail mounting system allows the same tracker design to accommodate multiple different modules with minimal disruption.
The key advantages of FlexRail and the other facets of the Genius Tracker single-axis tracking system are described in GameChange's latest white paper.
Module Flexibility for Single-Axis Trackers: A study on FlexRails and other tools for addressing module changes during project design. The paper examines key design features that enhance module flexibility, such as clamp-based rail systems, flexible purlins, unpunched torque tubes, as well as low-profile bearings. These elements enable utility-scale solar projects to adapt to shifting PV module availability while maintaining cost efficiency along with construction schedules.
GameChange is a top global provider of solar tracker solutions used in utility-scale and ground-mounted distributed generation solar projects around the world. We have delivered over 48 GW of solar tracker and fixed tilt systems that combine fast installation, bankable quality, and unbeatable value through superior engineering, innovative design, and high-volume manufacturing.
Executive Statement
According to Nat Healy, Genius Tracker Product Director, module supply is one of the most dynamic variables in utility-scale solar today. By supplying trackers designed to support a wide range of module types, they help their customers maintain project schedules and protect their financial models, even when the customer changes modules late in the design or installation process.
