pv magazine Webinar | Differential settlement and All Terrain Tracker

Shifting ground underneath a utility-scale solar site can damage trackers and equipment, leading to costly repairs or even complete demolition of a project. One common way a foundation can change post-installation is through a process called differential settlement. This webinar will explore differential settlement in detail and provide ways to overcome the process for a utility-scale solar installation. With the right equipment and action plan, a solar farm can withstand surface changes from differential settlement and stay functioning for decades.

pv magazine Webinar content:

• Differential settlement—what it is, when and how it happens.
• How differential settlement affects a utility-scale solar installation.
• Implementing measures to withstand a shifting foundation.
• The importance of tracker design in accommodating foundation changes.
• Understanding a structure’s limitations during a differential settlement event.

Key benefits for participants to attend:

• Learn about the differential settlement—when and how it occurs.
• Get to know how solar trackers can accommodate differential settlement.
• Understand structural limitations and how to safeguard a solar project.

Questions can be submitted beforehand in the comments window when registering or in the chat during the live webinar. Anne Fischer, Senior Editor at pv magazine USA, will be the moderator of this webinar.

Registration for this pv magazine webinar is free of charge.
