Nevados

Nevados is a U.S.-based solar technology company specializing in advanced single-axis tracking systems designed to overcome the challenges of installing utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants on non-flat terrain. Their flagship product—the TRACE™ All Terrain Tracker—enables efficient deployment of solar arrays across sloped and rolling landscapes without the need for costly land grading. This innovation opens up previously unsuitable sites for large-scale solar development while reducing environmental impact by preserving native topsoil and minimizing disturbance.
The company's integrated solution combines robust mechanical design with sophisticated control software that optimizes each row's movement based on its unique position in the landscape. Key features include bi-directional automatic stow functions (for rapid wind/hail protection), zero-shade backtracking algorithms (to reduce inter-row shading losses), diffuse boost capabilities (to enhance yield under cloudy conditions), simplified assembly processes that cut installation time significantly compared to industry norms, and maintenance-free drive mechanisms.
Nevados has received recognition from independent technical consultants—for example, ranking first in ease/speed of construction—and has secured long-term partnerships supporting gigawatts of new U.S. installations with major developers like Energix Renewables and Ampliform. Backed by institutional capital and headquartered in Oakland, California, Nevados is committed to advancing sustainable utility-scale PV deployment through innovative engineering tailored specifically for challenging terrains.
