GameChange Solar 631 MW Genius Tracker™ Rising Up in Southern Texas

GameChange Solar has announced the construction of a 631 MW Genius Tracker system in southern Texas. After completion, the system will be the largest solar PV project in the state and, eventually, one of the largest in the world. The project covers 4,000 acres in Wharton County and includes 1.4 million solar modules (just outside of the Houston Metropolitan area). This capacity can generate 500 MWac / 631 MWdc of renewable energy, enough to fuel 100,000 homes each year. Power generated at the project site will be purchased online in blocks and distributed to the ERCOT wholesale market in 2021 to meet rising regional demand. The EPC expects the project to be completed by mid-2022.

Allison Larson, GameChange Solar's Director of Business Development, stated: "We are committed to delivering outstanding logistical assistance and training to ensure the smooth and successful completion of this 631 MW Texas project for the EPC and the project owner. The system utilizes the tested Genius Tracker with preassembled SpeedClamps, which speeds up installation compared to typical competitors. We hope to see more of these large-scale utility-scale projects in Texas and elsewhere."

According to Max Johnson, Director of Business Development at GameChange Solar: "This world-class PV power plant facility is located along the Texas Gulf Coast, close to many other major solar developments. The Genius Tracker from GameChange Solar was selected for this milestone project due to its rugged design and potential to survive high wind areas. Our tech staff and dedicated on-site representatives can assist developers and owners who are using the Genius Tracker on nearby sites that are set to break ground later this year."
