South Africa’s mining industry needs a lot of power, and renewable energy has an important role to play in meeting that demand. The Mooi Plaats Solar PV Project is a 240 MWac / 283 MWp development supplying renewable electricity to mining operations across South Africa. It is one of the country’s largest single-site solar power projects and the first project in the 520 MW Koruson 2 cluster to enter commercial operation. As the project developed, new site information and changes to the layout meant the tracker design had to adapt too. The Genius Tracker™ 3.0 platform provided the flexibility to respond to these changes, including variable terrain and demanding wind conditions. The project achieved timely grid connectivity and demonstrated an exceptional 99.9% average operational uptime across all deployed phases. Our new case study gets into the engineering behind those numbers and the collaboration that helped deliver it. See the full project story.

We analysed Genius Tracker™ 3.0 operating data from utility-scale solar projects across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, covering July 2025 to May 2026. The analysis recorded 99.79% fleet uptime, against a contractual SLA target of 99.5%, along with a Fleet Mean Time Between Failures of 1,204 years. We have brought this data together in our new Annual Tracker Uptime Report, including country and project-level uptime, component failure rates, causes of downtime, spare-part recommendations and the methodology used to calculate availability. The report gives customers, asset owners and project teams a detailed look at the real-world operating data behind our tracker performance.

Solar projects are expected to operate for 25 years or more, which changes how you think about the tracker that goes into them. The design, the components, manufacturing quality and testing all have to hold up well beyond commissioning. And over time, that performance becomes measurable: in uptime, component reliability and the additional energy the system is able to help generate. Our in-house technology and algorithms are helping project owners generate more from the same land parcel, while our tracker systems are designed to deliver 99.5%+ system uptime over the long run. 🎥 Built for the Long Run is the final film in our #BUILTTOLEAD series, bringing together our team's perspectives on designing and building tracker systems for the life of the asset. But there’s more to come. Tomorrow, we’ll share our Annual Tracker Uptime Report, with operating data that takes a closer look at how our tracker fleet is performing in the field.

“Customers value partners who are available, who listen and who act quickly when challenges arise.” That point from Vikram Kenjale gets to the heart of our next #BUILTTOLEAD film. Because confidence in a technology provider goes beyond the product itself. Customers need predictability over the life of an asset, consistent quality standards, engineering that responds to different site conditions, and a team they know will stand behind what it delivers. These are expectations that have shaped how we have built our business in India and the relationships we have developed with developers and EPCs over the years. 🎥 Built for Confidence, the fourth film in our #BUILTTOLEAD series, brings together perspectives from across our team on what goes into earning that trust. One more film to come next week. Stay tuned!

Can you engineer for long-term resilience and still make a solar project faster and simpler to build? At the Dannevirke Solar Farm in New Zealand, GameChange Energy worked with Bright Fern Energy to address both, combining site-specific engineering with a tracker design and delivery approach focused on efficient construction and long-term performance. 📊 Here’s how that translated on the ground: 🔹#Seismic engineering designed specifically for the site conditions 🔹#Terrain optimization to reduce civil works and preserve the natural contours 🔹Pre-assembled components designed to improve installation efficiency 🔹Real-time production and delivery visibility to support site execution 🔹Engineering and project support from design through commissioning The outcome: installation completed on schedule despite 16 working days lost to severe weather, with a tracker system engineered for a 35-year operational life. Our latest #casestudy takes a closer look at the engineering and execution behind the Dannevirke Solar Farm, and the decisions that shaped the project from design through construction

There is no such thing as a standard site. Across India, solar projects are being built in very different conditions: #corrosive environments, varied soil profiles, uneven #terrain, and regions exposed to thunderstorms and severe wind events. Each one brings a different set of engineering questions. #Khavda is one of the toughest examples. High corrosivity combined with the risk of uplift from thunderstorms and downbursts, means decisions made at the design stage can matter years into a project's life. Understanding those conditions, validating them at site and testing the system against what it may face over its lifetime are all part of designing for long-term performance. 🎥 In the third film from our #BUILTTOLEAD series, our engineering team takes us inside some of these challenges and how we design for them. Another part of the journey, next week.
