Nextracker’s TrueCapture™ is a cutting-edge intelligent yield optimization and control software designed to enhance solar plant performance by up to 4 per cent annually. This innovative solution works by addressing common challenges in solar tracking, particularly row-to-row shading and terrain loss, which can lead to significant energy generation inefficiencies, especially in sites with sloping or uneven terrain.
TrueCapture Split Boost mode leverages Nextracker’s independent-row architecture to mitigate shading on a row-by-row basis and during certain times of the day by allowing shading on the bottom half of the half-cut/split-cell modules for maximum energy production. By using advanced sensor arrays, onsite data processing, and sophisticated algorithms, it optimizes the angle of each row of solar panels to capture maximum sunlight, even in diffuse lighting conditions. This adaptability makes it ideal for sites with complex topography and varying pile heights, which are increasingly common as solar projects expand into more challenging environments.
One of the key strengths of TrueCapture is its ability to optimize energy production by tailoring its approach to specific site conditions. It employs a suite of advanced algorithms, including Zonal Diffuse Mode for capturing scattered light during overcast conditions and Split Boost Row-to-Row Mode for maximum energy production. These algorithms can adjust in real-time, ensuring that solar trackers are always in the optimal position to maximize energy generation.
