Arctech Solar, a leading Chinese solar tracker manufacturer, locked in a total of 3 gigawatts of tracker supply agreements during last week’s SNEC PV Power Expo held in Shanghai.

Highlighting its showtime achievements, the firm’s single largest contract covers a 2GW utility-scale solar project in the Middle East, with an additional gigawatt-level supply deal and a separate cooperation framework for energy storage developments. Major 2GW PV schemes are currently under development and construction across Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other Middle Eastern markets by regional top energy developers.

At the exhibition, Arctech showcased its lineup of intelligent, integrated tracking hardware, headlined by the SkyLine II all-terrain solar tracker. The system is engineered to deploy solar farms on complex landscapes, compatible with desert sand, Gobi terrain, agrivoltaics, aquavoltaics and hilly sites to maximise land utilisation value.

The manufacturer also unveiled auxiliary products including robotic cleaning equipment, cable brackets, piling and installation tools. Arctech stated these integrated offerings drastically cut labour and construction expenses, paving the way for fully automated end-to-end solar plant workflows spanning piling, construction and long-term O&M.

Arctech’s shift from standalone tracker production to comprehensive solar site solutions mirrors an industry-wide diversification trend. Global major tracker suppliers such as Nextpower (formerly Nextracker), GameChange Energy and Array Technologies are expanding product portfolios via in-house R&D or acquisitions to cover full solar array infrastructure, including foundation, piling, eBOS and automated construction machinery. Automated utility-scale solar buildout has gained rapid traction, as previously covered by PV Tech Premium in an interview with robotics specialist Maximo this March.
