New smart software helps boost energy yield on uneven and sloped terrain with backtracking and diffuse features
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., May 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ARRAY Technologies (NASDAQ: ARRY) (“ARRAY” or the “Company”), a leading global provider of solar tracking technology products, software and services, today announced the expansion of its SmarTrack® software to include backtracking and diffuse optimization capabilities for its ARRAY STI H250™ dual-row tracker. This advancement brings algorithm training and optimization tools, already proven on the DuraTrack® platform, to H250 installations across Europe and other global markets.
“Our H250 tracker has long been a trusted solution in markets with challenging site conditions, and the addition of SmarTrack Backtracking and Diffuse takes its performance to the next level,” said Neil Manning, president and chief operating officer of ARRAY Technologies. “By applying algorithmic training and real-time sensor data, we’re empowering our customers to optimize their solar energy output across more geographies and more terrain types, ultimately improving project returns.”
Engineered to tackle the challenges of irregular terrain, the H250 tracker is widely deployed in Europe, South America, and Africa. With the addition of SmarTrack® Backtracking and Diffuse, project developers and asset owners can now further improve energy production in complex environments and variable weather conditions. These tools help trackers automatically adjust to minimize shading and maximize light capture, even on cloudy days.

ARRAY SmarTrack™ Backtracking
uses algorithmic training and terrain analysis and production data to reduce shading and maximize morning and evening energy generation. The system intelligently adjusts each motor block based on its unique slope characteristics, leading to sustained improvements in energy yield. Once optimized, backtracking parameters remain valid for the life of the project. -
ARRAY SmarTrack™ Diffuse
allows projects to continue performing at a high level during overcast conditions. By analyzing real-time Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) sensor data, the system dynamically flattens tracker angles to capture more scattered light, increasing energy capture when direct sunlight is limited.
These capabilities were validated in Spain and Brazil and are available for immediate deployment on new and existing H250 projects. In combination with ARRAY’s hardware and integrated software platform, SmarTrack is currently optimizing over 5 GW of solar capacity worldwide.
