Kseng 2.5MW Single Axis Solar Tracker Project in Italy: KST-1P for Efficient Utility-Scale Solar

Kseng has successfully supplied a 2.5MW single axis solar tracker system for a utility-scale solar project in Italy, further expanding its portfolio of solar tracking solutions across the European market.

The project uses the Kseng KST-1P horizontal single-axis solar tracker, a tracking solution designed for large-scale photovoltaic applications. The system combines a robust structural design, intelligent tracking control and flexible terrain adaptability to support reliable long-term operation of solar farms.

With this 2.5MW installation, Kseng continues to provide project-oriented solar mounting and tracking solutions for EPC contractors, solar developers and renewable energy project owners.


Project Overview

The key information of the Italy solar tracker project is summarized below:

Project Item Details
Project Location Italy
Project Capacity 2.5MW
Solar Tracking Solution Single Axis Solar Tracker
Tracker Model KST-1P
System Configuration 1P Horizontal Single-Axis Tracker
Application Utility-Scale Solar PV
Project Date September 2026
Supplier Kseng

The KST-1P is specifically designed for utility-scale PV projects and supports large-format PV modules commonly used in modern solar farms. According to Kseng's current product specifications, the system uses a slew-drive mechanism and can be configured with tracking ranges of up to ±60°, depending on project requirements. 


KST-1P Single Axis Solar Tracker for the Italian Solar Project

The core solution for the project is the KST-1P single axis solar tracker.

The KST-1P is a 1P horizontal single-axis tracking system developed for large-scale solar power plants. Its tracking structure allows PV modules to follow the sun's movement throughout the day, helping optimize module orientation for solar energy production.

The system integrates:

  • 1P horizontal single-axis tracking

  • Slew-drive technology

  • Astronomical solar tracking

  • Closed-loop control

  • Intelligent tracking management

  • Robust steel structural components

  • Flexible foundation options

  • Terrain adaptability

The KST-1P product specifications currently published by Kseng list tracking accuracy of up to ±1°, terrain adaptability for north-south slopes of up to 20% depending on project design, and a design life of 20–25 years. Final structural configuration is determined according to project location, environmental loads, module specifications and applicable standards.


Designed for Utility-Scale Solar Farms

Large-scale solar projects require more than a standard PV mounting structure. The tracking system must coordinate structural stability, solar tracking, electrical control, installation requirements and site conditions.

For the 2.5MW Italy project, the KST-1P provides a scalable solar tracking solution suitable for utility-scale photovoltaic applications.

Its horizontal single-axis configuration enables the PV modules to adjust their orientation during the day, while the tracking controller coordinates the movement of the tracker system.

Kseng's KST-1P platform is already applied in other Italian solar projects, including a 1.2MW project reported in 2026 and an 11MW multi-site project in Italy. These references demonstrate the application of Kseng's single-axis tracker technology in the Italian PV market.

Adapting Solar Tracking Technology to Italian Project Conditions

Italy has a diverse solar market with utility-scale PV projects distributed across different geographical and environmental conditions.

A solar tracker for such projects needs to consider factors including:

  • Site topography

  • Wind conditions

  • PV module dimensions

  • Foundation requirements

  • Structural loads

  • Installation conditions

  • Local technical requirements

  • Long-term operation and maintenance

The KST-1P can be engineered according to project-specific environmental loads, PV module configurations and foundation conditions. Kseng lists concrete foundations, steel piles and PHC piles among potential foundation options, subject to project engineering requirements. 

This project-oriented approach allows the solar tracker configuration to be adapted to the actual site rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all structure.


Intelligent Solar Tracking for Improved PV Operation

The KST-1P combines an astronomical tracking algorithm with closed-loop control to determine and manage the position of the tracker.

During daily operation, the tracker adjusts the PV module orientation according to the calculated solar position. The control architecture is designed to maintain accurate tracking while allowing the system to respond to project-specific operating conditions.

This intelligent tracking approach is one of the key differences between a single-axis solar tracker and a conventional fixed-tilt PV mounting system.


Robust Structure and Flexible Installation

For utility-scale solar farms, structural reliability is an important part of the overall PV system design.

The KST-1P uses structural components made from materials including hot-dip galvanized steel and Al-Mg-Zn coated steel, depending on project requirements. Kseng also provides project-specific structural engineering based on local environmental conditions and applicable design requirements. 

The system can also support different foundation solutions, allowing EPC contractors and developers to select an appropriate foundation according to soil conditions, terrain and project engineering.


Kseng's Growing Solar Tracker Portfolio in Italy

The 2.5MW project adds another reference to Kseng's growing portfolio of Italian solar tracker projects.

Kseng has previously reported an 11MW single-axis solar tracker project in Italy, using the KST-1P-TL solution across six project sites, as well as a 1.2MW KST-1P project in Italy reported in March 2026. 

These projects cover different project sizes and site conditions, providing Kseng with additional experience in supplying single-axis solar tracking solutions for the European market.


Why Choose a Single Axis Solar Tracker for Utility-Scale PV?

A single-axis solar tracker allows PV modules to change their orientation during the day rather than remaining at a fixed angle.

For utility-scale solar projects, a tracking system can provide several engineering and operational advantages:

  1. Dynamic solar positioning
    PV modules can follow the sun's movement throughout the day.

  2. Utility-scale scalability
    Single-axis tracker systems can be deployed across large solar farms.

  3. Intelligent control
    Automated tracking reduces the need for manual adjustment.

  4. Terrain adaptability
    Tracker structures can be engineered for different site conditions.

  5. Project-specific structural design
    System configuration can be adjusted according to local environmental loads and PV module specifications.

The actual energy yield and financial performance of a tracker project depend on factors such as solar irradiation, module technology, site layout, tracker configuration, weather conditions and system operation. Therefore, project-specific energy simulations should be used when calculating expected energy gains.
