Lime Kiln Agrivoltaics and pollinator support project goes live with ARRAY trackers

Recently, pv magazine USA covered the launch of the Lime Kiln agrivoltaics community solar project in Fulton, Maryland. The 2.7 MW site—now powering approximately 500 homes and businesses—demonstrates what’s possible when innovation meets intention. The project integrates sheep grazing and pollinator-friendly ground cover with ARRAY trackers, giving developers a flexible layout that accommodates diverse land-use goals.

ARRAY DuraTrack Hail XP praised for addressing extreme weather risks

“The new design comes at a great time,” said The Cool Down about our new ARRAY DuraTrack Hail XP system. Designed to protect solar panels in hail- and wind- prone regions, this tracker allows for modules to stow at a steep 77° angle—offering enhanced defense against extreme weather. The system’s ability to quickly reposition in response to hail events helps reduce the risk of damage and safeguard long-term project performance. This recognition underscores ARRAY’s focus on designing durable solutions that help EPC’s and developers protect their assets and stay on schedule.

ARRAY strengthens foundation and fixed tilt capabilities with APA Solar acquisition

List.Solar covered ARRAY’s acquisition of APA Solar fixed tilt mounting systems, for $179 million. This strategic move not only allows us to expand our product portfolio, but with APA’s expertise we’re better equipped to support a wider range of site conditions and project requirements and project requirement from single-axis trackers to fixed-tilt systems. This will help strengthen our ability to deliver integrated, field-proven solutions that meet the needs of today’s solar landscape for our customers.

Steel-framed modules take center stage in Origami + Array Webinar

A PV-Tech article by Eric Hafter, founder of Origami Solar, summarized a webinar discussion on the potential benefits of steel-framed modules in combination with trackers. Origami invited ARRAY to participate as an expert in the industry. During the webinar we shared how steel frames may help improve wind ratings, streamline tracker mounts, and offer design flexibility in certain environments.

At ARRAY, we’re focused on delivering reliable technology and customer support that help utility-scale solar projects succeed. We appreciate the recognition from respected industry voices and remain committed to providing solutions that meet the needs of the utility-scale solar industry worldwide.

The plant has created hundreds of local jobs and become a beacon in the march toward innovation and sustainability, promising to generate approximately 1.2 TW/h of solar energy annually. To put it in perspective, that’s enough to power more than 100,000 U.S. homes. And it’s driven by ARRAY Technologies.

Enel Green Power, the operator of the Roadrunner solar farm, selected ARRAY DuraTrack® single-axis solar trackers for their utility-scale photovoltaic solar plant, helping the plant’s incredible number of bifacial solar panels live up to their expansive power-producing potential.

More About Roadrunner

When complete, the Roadrunner solar farm will sprawl over an incredible 2,770 acres and have an oversized impact on our shared environment by avoiding the emission of over 800,000 tons of CO2 per year.

And the energy produced at Roadrunner is already set to be leveraged by some true titans of the food service and cleaning product industries, with Mondelez International signing on for a 12-year, 65MW power purchase agreement and The Clorox Company for a 12-year, 70MW power purchase agreement.

For Mondelez, this energy will be enough to produce half of the Oreos produced in the U.S. annually, and Clorox’s PPA represents around half of the company’s 100% renewable energy goal, which it originally hoped to achieve by 2025.

The project is also driving growth “at home,” with Enel Green creating local jobs, making investments in local education and emergency response initiatives, and generating approximately $60 million in new tax revenue over the life of the project.

The Upton County, Texas project was also integrated into an operating wind project area, meaning that the land is contributing to the world’s clean energy efforts in more ways than one. This integration is a model for the future of such projects.

Add it all up, and Roadrunner has done something extraordinary, converting a landscape being used for very little into an integral part of the world’s push toward sustainable, renewable energy.

“This milestone emphasizes the scale of Enel Green Power’s capability to develop, build and operate projects across diverse geographies and technologies in the U.S.,” said Georgios Papadimitriou, Head of Enel Green Power North America. “We continue to aggressively pursue opportunities for growth in North America, capitalizing on strong C&I demand for sustainable power and accelerating the transition to a carbon-free economy.”

Why ARRAY?

With so much potential for Roadrunner’s bifacial solar modules to power that march toward true sustainability, Enel Green needed solar trackers to provide proven performance and real, consistent results.

Enter the ARRAY DuraTrack® single-axis solar tracker.

DuraTrack is the result of three decades of field-tested design improvements, allowing it to fulfill ARRAY’s mission of bringing the solar industry innovations that power real advancements by becoming the most durable, reliable tracking system under the sun.

Featuring streamlined installation thanks to a single-bolt module clamp and forgiving tolerances, the DuraTrack doesn’t sacrifice performance, offering flexibly linked architecture that maximizes power density and promoting uptime with an innovative use of far fewer components than other options and a failure-free wind management system.

Put it all together, and the DuraTrack delivers the industry’s highest power density, cutting-edge terrain adaptability, greater reliability and absolutely zero scheduled maintenance.

For massive projects like the Roadrunner solar farm, that translates into:

• 99.996% Uptime
• 7% Lower LCOE
• 31% Lower Lifetime O&M

These savings and the performance guaranteed by DuraTrack trackers are integral to fulfilling Roadrunner’s mission to not only lead the way toward a more sustainable future but invest in the local community and ensure the operation is as future-proof and scalable as possible.

It’s simple – when you choose to leverage the best and most innovative technology available, you ensure you’re ready for whatever lies ahead.
