NEXTracker - Model NX Horizon Hail Pro -Solar Tracking System
Proactive, effective strategies for a changing climate. Engineered to prepare utility-scale solar systems for hail regions with high-angle stowing, smart automation, and comprehensive event reporting. Proven in laboratory testing and in the field. As storms grow more frequent and severe, NX Horizon Hail Pro delivers the readiness and response projects need – today and over the long term. Field-proven and informed by real-world events, its immediate response reduces risk while safeguarding performance and investor returns.
High-Angle Defense
With an industry-leading 75° stow angle and rapid actuation, NX Hail Pro slashes hail impact force while holding strong in the wind, maximizing glass survivability.
Smarter Storm Response
NX Hail Pro systems are equipped with operator-triggered and automated, forecast-based stowing for maximum hail resilience. Self-powered control with integrated backup power ensure reliability, even when the power goes out.
Preparedness that Pays Off
NX Hail Pro bolsters project bankability by reducing severe-convective storm risk and improving insurance terms. Configurable controls adapt to site-specific or portfolio risk profiles, enabling stow strategies that balance power output with risk mitigation.
How NX Horizon Hail Pro Reduces Risk
Engineered for the swift response that severe weather demands, Hail Pro combines high-speed, high-angle stowing with autonomous row-level control and resilient communications – mitigating hail and wind damage while minimizing downtime and preserving energy production.
