"We are appreciative to be partnering on over 1 GW of solar power plants with many of India's leading renewable energy firms," said NEXTracker CEO Dan Shugar in the statement.
NEXTracker's projects commissioned or under construction with Sterling & Wilson, Adani Green Energy, SkyPower, CleanMax Solar,Suzlon, and ReNew Power are milestones that demonstrate the rapidly growing adoption of solar trackers in India.
