Trackers run lighter in structure per megawatt but add drives, controllers and higher foundation demands, so total package weight is not automatically lower. The number that matters commercially is tonnes per megawatt in your specific wind zone, not an industry average.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can one supplier realistically carry a gigawatt programme?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acc-body\">Only with multi-base production and pre-allocated raw material. Even a large fabricator on a single site is one incident away from a programme-wide delay, so the practical structure is one accountable supplier coordinating two or more production bases under a shared quality system. Ask to see each base&#8217;s individual capacity rather than a combined figure.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What actually causes GW programmes to slip?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acc-body\">A late engineering freeze is the most common cause, because it pushes the whole tonnage curve back while the construction schedule stays fixed. Galvanizing capacity at peak is second. Raw material allocation is third. All three are manageable if they are planned early and all three become expensive when they are discovered during peak demand.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do you support staged or phased award?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acc-body\">Yes, and phasing usually reduces risk on both sides. A programme can be awarded phase by phase with the tonnage curve carried forward, so the first phase proves production and delivery performance before the remaining volume is committed. We price a phased award on total programme volume rather than treating each phase as a standalone order.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How is shipment sequencing decided?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acc-body\">From the construction sequence, not from the production sequence. We take the EPC zone-by-zone build plan and group shipments into installation-sized campaigns, so each delivery lands at the work front that is ready for it. That typically reduces site storage by a factor of two or three compared with an even monthly release.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"el-sec\">\n<h2
