Axial introduces 160 m-long single-row tracker

Spanish photovoltaic tracker manufacturer Axial has unveiled a new generation of single-row solar trackers designed for utility-scale projects, with higher power density and increasingly optimized construction configurations at the Smarter E trade show in Munich, Germany, this week.

According to the company, Titan system addresses structural changes in the solar sector, including the trend toward larger project sizes, the adoption of large-format PV modules, and ongoing pressure to reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE).

Axial says the tracker’s long-row architecture enables configurations of up to 160 meters. It is intended for large sites with ample land availability, such as desert installations or other open areas, where long, continuous rows can be fully utilized.

The design has been adapted to accommodate larger, higher-power modules. Each row can host up to four strings and is compatible with most utility-scale modules currently on the market, supporting integration into high-capacity PV plants.

To ensure mechanical stability, Titan uses a multi-slew drive system combined with multi-point locking technology, designed to maintain structural rigidity and performance under demanding operating conditions.

For energy performance, the system integrates an advanced tracking algorithm and 3D backtracking functionality, aimed at reducing inter-row shading losses and improving energy yield throughout the day.

The tracker is designed for harsh environments, with an operating temperature range of -20 C to 50 C and wind resistance of up to 70 km/h.

According to recent reports from Wood Mackenzie and S&P Global, Axial is the leading European solar tracker supplier by shipment volume in 2025, with a 16% market share and 46% year-on-year growth.

The company has also captured nearly one-third of the Italian market, supported by 70% annual growth, and holds a 23% share in Romania. It ranks among the world’s top 10 tracker manufacturers by shipment volume.
