A Cost-Effective Alternative to Tracker ‘Rip & Replace’

The whitepaper “A Cost-Effective Alternative to Tracker ‘Rip & Replace’” challenges the common belief that failing solar trackers must be completely replaced and instead demonstrates the financial and operational advantages of repowering. It outlines how unbankable components, deferred maintenance, and poor servicing practices lead to performance failures, while strategic retrofits with reliable motion controls, such as Kinematics’ ST Series drives and Kinematics ONE controllers, can restore performance at a fraction of replacement costs. Featuring insights from industry experts and a repower calculator case study, the paper shows how a 4 MW California project achieved a projected 481% return on investment in just five years by selectively upgrading critical components while reusing existing infrastructure. Ultimately, it argues that targeted repowering delivers higher availability, protects power purchase agreements, and maximizes long-term asset value without the high cost and downtime of full system replacement.
