Antaisolar has unveiled an upgraded version of its TAI-Universal 2P multi-drive solar tracker at SNEC 2026 in Shanghai last week.

The system features reinforced main structures and joint points, supporting spans of up to 80 meters and wind resistance of up to 60 m/s.

Antaisolar said the longer span and higher structural strength are intended to reduce pile counts and lower project levelized cost of energy (LCOE). The design targets large ground-mounted solar plants, including projects in desert and other arid regions, where foundation requirements, wind performance and installation efficiency are key cost drivers.

The tracker uses a 2P multi-drive architecture with multiple drive points along each tracker row. According to the company, the design improves torque distribution and structural stability across longer rows, while supporting high-power modules and higher DC/AC ratios. It also said the system is designed to enhance bifacial gain by reducing rear-side shading. However, Antaisolar did not disclose a production ramp-up timeline for the upgraded TAI-Universal in its SNEC release.

Antaisolar also showcased its AT-Spark 1P flagship tracker and SmartTrail intelligent tracker control system. AT-Spark uses the company’s self-developed octagonal torque tube and dual spherical bearing design. The latest version delivers a 40% increase in structural stiffness and 50% higher strength, making it suitable for long-row layouts and complex terrain, the company said.

The SmartTrail control system is compatible across Antaisolar’s tracker portfolio. It uses multi-dimensional irradiance algorithms to optimize tracker angles and includes protection logic for extreme operating conditions, supporting stable performance under high wind, snow, hail and sandstorm events.

The SNEC launch came shortly after Antaisolar was ranked seventh in Wood Mackenzie’s 2026 global PV tracker manufacturer ranking and named a Global Grade A tracker manufacturer. Wood Mackenzie said its ranking assesses manufacturers across criteria including R&D, after-sales service, supply chain stability, certifications, financial health and ESG performance.

During the exhibition, Antaisolar also announced several certification and partnership updates. It signed a strategic agreement with TÜV Rheinland covering UK market access certification, and an ESG cooperation agreement with TÜV SÜD. Its Altra-Metals rooftop mounting system received UL 2703 certification, while AT-Spark obtained IEC 62817 certification.

Antaisolar also signed strategic agreements with Gebeng Energy and Raystech covering more than 800 MW of solar projects and cooperation across Southeast Asia and Australia. The company said its cumulative global shipments reached 50.1 GW across 21 countries by the end of 2025.
