5B Maverick improves the economic viability of projects in remote areas and high-cost labour markets by reducing the time to undertake key onsite activities by roughly 80%.
It also creates a faster pathway to market for solar PV renewable energy generation assets.
Deployment on this project was completed in 43 days with only 10 people - 65% faster than it would have had the team used single access trackers. This included deploying 1.1 MWp+ in 1 day with 10 people, setting a solar speed record.
The high energy density of the 5B Maverick design compared to single access tracker or fixed tilt technologies, overcomes land constraints which stop many sites from being developed.
In remote areas like the Atacama Desert, it is difficult to find the labor you need to deploy solar projects. The speed of the 5B Maverick deployment, plus the fact that it is prefabricated means less people are required onsite for less time.
Tristan Wallbank“At the end of the day, lowering the cost of energy is everything. We are going to continue to work with 5B to further innovate and further improve the execution process together.”
