Casa dos Ventos Selects Nextracker for 1.5 GW of Solar Projects in Brazil - CleanTechnica

Nextracker, a leading solar technology provider, has been selected by Casa dos Ventos, one of Brazil’s largest renewable energy companies, to supply 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of solar tracker systems for four utility-scale solar and solar-wind hybrid projects in Brazil. The projects—Babilônia Sul (117 MW), Babilônia Centro (226 MW), Seriemas (540 MW), and Rio Brilhante (680 MW)—are located in Bahia and Mato Grosso do Sul. This marks Casa dos Ventos’s first utility-scale solar deployment and aligns with its strategy to develop hybrid power plants that integrate solar and wind energy at shared grid interconnection points, optimizing grid capacity amid Brazil’s constrained transmission infrastructure. Three of the projects will use Nextracker’s NX Horizon-XTR all-terrain tracker systems, designed for challenging landscapes, reducing earthworks and grading costs. All sites will incorporate Nextracker’s TrueCapture® yield management system, which uses advanced sensors and machine
