NEXTracker Announces Series of Energy Storage Systems

NEXTracker’s energy storage portfolio provides customers with configurable and intelligent solutions for new and retrofitted power plants and stand-alone applications.

NEXTracker, a Flex company has announced NEXTracker Energy Storage Solutions, a portfolio of products that includes NX Drive and NX Flow.

NX Drive is a standardized battery enclosure system for generation-plus-storage or stand-alone storage applications.

NX Flow is a modular, integrated solution designed for long duration solar-plus-storage applications. Each is designed to maximize long-term value and offer the lowest levelized cost of storage (LCOS) for a wide variety of applications, such as peak smoothing, bulk load shifting and demand charge reduction.

NEXTracker’s energy storage portfolio provides customers with configurable and intelligent solutions for new and retrofitted power plants and stand-alone applications.

“Customers face a complex set of technology decisions as they design their energy systems and solutions today. NEXTracker’s solutions approach leverages our expertise in optimizing power plant technologies to help customers make the right choice for each specific project,” said Alex Au, CTO of NEXTracker.

“NX Drive and NX Flow can be used for many energy storage and solar-plus-storage scenarios, offering our customers a wide range of choices. With NEXTracker’s Energy Storage Solutions, we are on the front line of mass-scale intelligent energy system development for modern power plants,” he said.

Bloomberg New Energy Finance forecasts the global energy storage market will “double six times” by 2030, growing from less than 5 gigawatt-hours in 2016 to more than 300 gigawatt-hours. An estimated $103 billion will be invested in energy storage over that time period.

As the solar tracker market share leader for the second consecutive year, NEXTracker continues to execute on increasing global demand for smart tracking and storage systems in the large-scale solar power industry.

NX Drive consists of a standard ISO form factor enclosure with pre-engineered and integrated electrical, mechanical, and thermal management features.

Customers can also upgrade battery modules as technology continues to evolve and integrate PV and/or storage inverters depending on design preference.

NX Flow’s complete storage solution (formerly known as NX Fusion Plus) integrates battery, inverter, solar tracker and software technologies to improve return on investment for owners of solar power plants.
