Weather is the root cause of most solar insurance claims in North America. While extreme weather is inevitable and increasingly common, catastrophic solar project losses are not. Project stakeholders can address site- and region-specific risk profiles during project design via strategic product specification and software control strategies.

By using differentiated single-axis tracker design and intelligent control capabilities to mitigate these risks, stakeholders can meet financial expectations and unlock new and varied solar development opportunities. 

Topics covered in the paper include:
