A tracker can satisfy the mechanical specification and still create a qualification problem for the project. That is becoming increasingly relevant in European utility-scale solar procurement as the EU Net-Zero Industry Act moves from legislation into renewable-energy auction design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Italy is now a live example. The definitive FER X mechanism entered into force on 7 August 2026, with operational rules approved for preliminary qualification and future competitive procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What does NZIA have to do with a solar tracker?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Net-Zero Industry Act requires Member States to incorporate sustainability and resilience criteria into a defined share of renewable-energy auctions. Article 26 sets a minimum of 30% of the volume auctioned annually in each Member State, or alternatively at least 6 GW per year per Member State, subject to the Regulation\u2019s detailed exemptions and implementation rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trackers are expressly relevant to the resilience assessment. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025\/1178 lists \u201cPV trackers and their specific mounting structures\u201d among the main specific components of photovoltaic technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why that changes procurement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For projects where the NZIA resilience criterion applies, a tracker is not evaluated only on yield, structural design, wind strategy, delivery and price. The project may also need a defensible manufacturing and supply-chain position for the tracker package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Terms such as \u201cEuropean\u201d, \u201cnon-Chinese\u201d or \u201cmanufactured in T\u00fcrkiye\u201d can be useful commercial descriptions. They are not, on their own, a project qualification file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A better buyer checklist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Which entities manufacture the relevant tracker package?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Where is the relevant manufacturing performed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 How are key components sourced and controlled?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 What production, quality-control and traceability records exist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Can the stated manufacturing and supply-chain position be substantiated when the project needs it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n How Truaxis approaches the issue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Truaxis Energy designs and supplies single-axis tracker systems from T\u00fcrkiye for utility-scale solar projects. Its commercial proposition combines project-specific engineering with an industrial manufacturing base, controlled component sourcing, quality-control records and direct technical support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For FER X\/NZIA projects, the useful question is therefore moving beyond \u201cWhere is this tracker made?\u201d The stronger procurement question is: \u201cCan I substantiate the manufacturing and supply-chain position of this tracker in my project qualification file?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n That question belongs in the RFQ and technical-commercial evaluation, not in a document chase after supplier selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Primary sources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Regulation (EU) 2024\/1735 – Net-Zero Industry Act –https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/reg\/2024\/1735\/oj\/eng<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025\/1178 – PV trackers listed as main specific components – https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/reg_impl\/2025\/1178\/oj\/eng<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 European Commission guidance on NZIA Article 26 (2026) –https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/PDF\/?uri=CELEX:52026XC04113<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A tracker can satisfy the mechanical specification and still create a qualification problem for the project.
