Demand does not stop at solar noon.
High, persistent loads need useful solar earlier and later in the day.
GRID-ALIGNED PV PLATFORM

THE SYSTEM PROBLEM
Annual MWh are no longer enough.
The next solar projects must do more than maximize midday production. They must work with inflexible loads, constrained interconnections, batteries and delivery windows.
MODMEC is designed around that system-level problem: not just more megawatts—better megawatts.
A stronger PV profile can change when the battery needs to work.
More solar before noon can begin charging earlier. More late-afternoon solar can serve demand or keep charging BESS, potentially delaying discharge and preserving energy for evening and night.
Interconnection capacity is a design constraint.
PV orientation, storage and POI limits should be evaluated as one operating system.
ONE COORDINATED PLATFORM
Mechanics. Control. Intelligence.
MODMEC combines a differentiated tracker architecture with site-aware control and a planning layer focused on the value of the generation profile.

TRACKER ARCHITECTURE
A row-based dual-axis platform
A low-profile architecture built on the single-axis row concept, with a second controlled axis designed to keep module surfaces normal to direct sunlight from morning through solar noon and into late afternoon.

GENERATION INTELLIGENCE
Evaluate energy by when it arrives
Compare generation shapes, direct-to-load delivery, BESS routing, POI utilization and time-weighted energy value before defining a pilot.
Modeling + analyticsENGINEERING TARGET
Dual-axis profile control. Single-axis-minded deployment.
The architecture is being engineered toward installation, operations and maintenance simplicity—not the complexity of a conventional pedestal-style dual-axis system.
HOW MODMEC MOVES
Four modules per frame.
Up to 30 frames per row.
Two drives per row.
A dual-axis tracker built on a single-axis row architecture. A 90 m (295.3 ft) row accommodates a maximum of 30 frames: 30 × 4 = 120 modules, with one drive for E–W and one for S–N.
The row arrangement was tested in Poland at 51.87°N.

24/7 LOAD
Make onsite solar work harder against an always-on load.
Use more solar directly across more hours of the day. Charge BESS earlier and, when surplus remains available, continue charging later—potentially delaying discharge and preserving stored energy for evening and overnight demand.

VALIDATION NOTE
Performance, cost and energy-value outcomes depend on site conditions and remain to be validated through detailed engineering and pilot data. Simulator outputs are illustrative, not bankable forecasts. Patent status is stated as of July 2026 for identification only; scope and rights are determined by official records, issued claims and applicable agreements.
U.S. SOUTHWEST PILOT DEVELOPMENT
Build the dataset the market needs.
The target U.S. pilot is approximately 300 kWp: large enough to test installation, control, reliability and generation-profile value in a utility-relevant environment. Candidate site and validation pathways are being evaluated in Arizona and California; no host location has been selected.

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS
What buyers usually ask first.
Is MODMEC a tracker or a software platform?
The tracker is designed to improve solar capture throughout the day, including solar noon. BESS can store available surplus for later demand. Smart Watts is being developed to coordinate PV, storage, load, weather and grid constraints.
Are the modeled gains already bankable?
No. Early modeling and prototype work identify the opportunity, but site-specific performance and cost claims require calibrated simulation, detailed engineering and measured pilot data.
Does every project need a battery?
No. MODMEC can be evaluated as a standalone PV architecture or with BESS. The point is to determine when direct generation is more valuable and when storage remains justified.
What is needed for an initial comparison?
Location, project size, representative load profile, planned battery size, interconnection limit, land constraint and preferred delivery windows are enough to scope a planning-grade comparison.
What kind of partner is MODMEC seeking?
Early-adopter sites, utilities, data-center energy teams, developers, EPCs and strategic suppliers that can help validate a commercially relevant pilot and define a path to deployment.
