Gensol Subsidiary–Scorpius Trackers Achieves 1 GW+ Contracted Orders

Gensol Engineering has now announced acquiring a majority stake in Scorpius Trackers, a single-axis solar tracker company. In its latest self-disclosure before the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the company has announced the acquisition of  54.38 percent shares of Scorpius and voting rights in the company. Gensol Engineering Limited is a part of the Gensol group of companies, which offers engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for the development of solar power plants. The firm’s promoters are also behind Blu Smart, the EV service. 

Scorpius is engaged in designing, developing, marketing and servicing single-axis trackers for solar power generation. “With the acquisition of Scorpius Trackers, Gensol will be able to offer to its clients an end-to-end EPC solution that includes innovative solar tracking technology, thus enabling its customers to reduce their levelized energy cost,” the company said in its filing.
