WHITE PAPER:
THE PROBLEM
OF MASS GRADING
FOR SOLAR

WHY AND HOW
THE PRACTICE MUST STOP

Mass grading for solar projects is costly and environmentally destructive. Managing the negative consequences of this practice are particularly difficult and expensive at greenfield solar projects on hilly terrain, and these sites are increasingly common as the utility-scale market expands geographically.

The latest white paper from Nevados examines the problem of grading, highlights a case study from Primoris, an EPC that achieved a 95% reduction in grading at a Louisiana solar farm by deploying Nevados trackers, and explains how Nevados trackers help project stakeholders overcome the challenge of grading.
