1. Array Technologies launches Hail Alert Response system to protect solar assets from hail damage.
2. The system uses weather prediction algorithms to preemptively stow solar trackers before hail events.
3. Hail Alert Response is available in the US and integrates with Array’s DuraTrack or OmniTrack trackers, requiring a subscription and SmarTrack Controller.
Array Technologies, a global leader in solar tracking systems, has introduced a new Hail Alert Response system to protect solar assets from hail damage. The technology uses predictive algorithms to automatically stow solar trackers ahead of a hailstorm, reducing the risk of damage and extending the lifespan of the system.
This innovative system is available in the United States and can be integrated with Array’s DuraTrack or OmniTrack trackers. The communication between the SmarTrack Data Platform and the on-site controller is encrypted, ensuring data security and reliability. A subscription to the service and a SmarTrack Controller are necessary for deploying the Hail Alert Response features effectively.
CEO Kevin G. Hostetler highlighted Array’s commitment to enhancing the resilience and performance of solar energy systems. The patented Hail Alert Response system offers customers an extra layer of protection against severe weather, allowing solar projects to remain productive and secure. Array Technologies continues to seek ways to add value and reduce long-term costs for its clients through innovative solutions like this.
