NX Horizon includes a comprehensive communications and control system for maximum tracker accuracy and system reliability. This consists of three types of control units, all networked together via ZigBee® wireless mesh communications. Our patent-pending Self-Powered Controller (SPC) is mounted on each tracker row and autonomously commands the tracker to follow the sun throughout the day. Tracker operation is derived from on-board GPS, clock, and inclinometer, ensuring superior tracking accuracy. The SPC is powered by a small dedicated PV panel and includes a backup battery to eliminate the need for any tracker power wiring. All SPCs communicate over a ZigBee wireless mesh network for monitoring and global control functions. ‘A Network Control Unit (NCU) aggregates communication and control for up to 100 SPCs via the same ZigBee network. Each NCU monitors real-time SPC parameters and issues global commands to its associated SPCs. During wind or snow events, stowing commands are generated and issued automatically based on real-time data from Weather Stations located on-site. Manual operator-generated commands are available via local switches on the NCU. Each NCU is accessible via a Modbus interface for SCADA integration. NCUs are typically located at inverter pads with other electrical equipment to easily connect to the required AC power. As with the SPCs, a battery backup is built into each NCU unit. ‘A Weather Station measures real-time wind speed and snow depth and reports this data to the NCUs over the ZigBee network. When conditions warrant, the NCUs will propagate a stowing command out to their associated SPCs within seconds. Like the SPCs, each Weather Station is powered by a small, dedicated PV panel and includes a backup battery eliminating the need for power wiring. The quantity and location of Weather Stations is defined on a per project basis.

The Nx Horizon is a self-powered, decentralized tracking system where each row is independent of one another - an industry first. Prior to this pioneering innovation, single-axis trackers included a drive shaft connecting each row, which impeded overall operations and maintenance of solar power plants. For NX Horizon, each row is driven by a brushless DC motor coupled to a slew gear. Power for the motor is provided by our patent-pending Self-Powered Controller (SPC) and a dedicated PV module.

The slew gear is designed to adjust the tracker tilt position to follow the sun each day, as well as hold the tracker position fixed during periods of wind stow. The brushless motor is directly coupled to the input worm shaft of the slew gear, with the tracker torque tubes permanently connected to the output collars. The slew gear is sealed and requires no scheduled maintenance for the life of the product. ‘© NEXTIacker Inc.

The vegetative maintenance contractor will be responsible for inspecting and maintaining the vegetative integrity of the solar facility. The contractor will conduct on-site activities during growing months at the frequency of approximately 2-3 times per year. The contractor is expected to adjust site maintenance frequency based on time of year and weather conditions. To avoid rutting, erosion, and soil compaction, weather forecasts will be consulted and on-site field inspections will be conducted prior to mowing or cutting to ensure that these practices occur when the site is able to withstand this type of activity, Itis important to note this scope of work covers work along the access road and w/in the fence line of the project. Remaining lands outside the fence will continue to be utilized for agricultural purposes and maintained by the landowner or their representative. Site Activities * Perimeter Maintenance © The perimeter fence line will be inspected for items of trash, that may have accumulated since the previous site visit. These items will be collected and disposed of offsite. Vegetative growth along the fence line will also be trimmed and maintained to prevent the growth of weeds or tall grasses. © Mowing © Mowing is a three-step process. First, the mower or bush hog trims the large areas. Second, trimmers are used to cut around structural elements and other places the ‘mower couldn’t reach. Finally, any vegetation that was thrown and stuck to the modules will be cleaned off. Additionally, spot-mowing is recommended for reducing invasive plants while native species are becoming established. Spot- ‘mowing should be done at a raised height to avoid damaging native plants. SRE Solar Origination 1, LLC 1401 Wilson Blvd | Suite 800 Arlington, VA 22209 * Site Inspections © During each maintenance vi rN Summit Ridge , the site will be inspected for signs of erosion. Any areas of concern will be immediately communicated to the project owner/developer to evaluate and implement corrective measures. Should the contractor observe a non-typical condition or change in site conditions the project owner/developer will be immediately notified ‘+ Screening Maintenance © Should vegetative screening be installed at the PV facility, the contractor will be responsible for monitoring the general health of each plant. If any plant succumbs and fails to establish its self, contractor will work with the responsible nursery to redeem the warranty and replace the deceased plant with another of the same species. * Access Road Maintenance ‘© During maintenance activities, the access road will be inspected and maintained to ensure that vegetative creep does not occur. This will include the mowing of at least a 3-foot strip paralleling each side of the road. Additionally, any observed vegetative creep within the road will be removed.
