The ugly duckling industry?

摘要

For years things were quiet around the tracking system market. But as trackers become less costly and innovative systems are being developed, leading manufacturers think that the ugly duckling might soon turn into a swan. In the last few years the tracking market has changed rapidly. During the Spanish boom in 2007 and 2008 about 50 to 100 modules were needed for a plant with a capacity of 1 MW, today just 40 to 80 modules achieve the same capacity. Technological developments have also led to a drop in tracker prices, which means that the systems are now becoming competitive.
