Nextracker Inc. (NXT), a global market leader of solar trackers
and Asteelflash/USI, a high-end global electronics component
manufacturer, today announced the grand opening of Asteelflash’s
U.S. manufacturing line for Nextracker. Asteelflash has expanded
its capability to include dedicated production of Nextracker’s
patented self-powered controller (SPC) and high voltage power
supply. Key components of the Nextracker controller include printed
circuit board assembly (PCBA), battery integration, and other
essential components used in the company’s solar tracking
technology deployed globally.

The manufacturing line is housed in a 197,000 square foot
facility in Fremont, CA, and represents a multi-million-dollar
joint investment in this first phase, creating new jobs and
boosting local economic growth. Nextracker controllers are the
“brain” and power supply enabling precision control of the
company’s tracker systems such as NX Horizon™, the company’s
flagship product for large-scale solar power plants. Nextracker’s
SPCs are highly reliable over a wide range of conditions and
powered by a battery, allowing the trackers to still function even
if grid power is down.
"We are excited to announce our commitment to procuring
Nextracker’s U.S.-made trackers as part of Clearway's broader
domestic content strategy and pleased to see the heart of their
robust tracker technology, the self-powered controllers, be
manufactured here in California,” said Craig Cornelius, CEO of
Clearway who recently announced a two-gigawatt volume commitment
agreement with Nextracker. “With Nextracker’s precise control over
tracker row angles and rapid stowing capabilities in extreme
weather conditions, our growing fleet will set new standards of
module protection and help ensure the reliability and resilience of
the solar industry."
"We are delighted to be supply partners for Nextracker's U.S.
self-powered controller line," said Matt Behringer, USI Corp. VP
and AFG EVP. "Asteelflash/USI fully embraces Nextracker's
principles, advocating for a future built on clean economy ideals
and creating local jobs by producing essential components like
PCBAs which play a crucial role in our daily lives. All these
components are proudly manufactured right here in the heart of
Silicon Valley."
“Nextracker is thrilled to work with Asteelflash/USI as we
continue to put in place the domestic manufacturing capacity we
need to serve the rapidly growing solar market,” said Dan Shugar,
CEO and founder of Nextracker. “Our expanding product manufacturing
footprint is bringing new jobs throughout the country and enables
us to better serve customers. We are pleased to add California to
our production capability, with Silicon Valley having some of the
best tech talent in the world.”
With these newly dedicated mechanical assembly production lines,
Nextracker is further building out its supply capacity for domestic
demand as well as for export, having opened over 10 new U.S.
production facilities in the past year with its suppliers. In 2022,
the company publicly inaugurated four new steel fabrication lines
in Texas, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. In May of this year,
Nextracker announced another steel tracker factory in
Tennessee.
Nextracker and Asteelflash/USI held a dedication event to
announce the facility. At the event, Fremont Mayor Lily Mei, Chair
of the California Energy Commission David Hochschild, Craig
Cornelius of Clearway Energy, Becky Cranna of Cypress Creek
Renewables, and Frank Macchiarola of the American Clean Power
Association (ACP) spoke about the positive impact of clean energy
and job creation.
According to the American Clean Power Association, clean energy
currently makes up 15% of U.S. electricity and more money was
invested into utility-scale clean energy projects and manufacturing
facilities in the U.S. between last August and this March than the
total investment into clean power projects between 2017 and 2021.
Wood Mackenzie reports that the U.S. solar industry just had its
best first quarter in history and is expected to triple in size
over the next five years.
