Spain’s Soltec has developed a brand new dual-row, single-axis tracker with a monitoring vary of as much as 60 levels, providing compatibility with 60-cell, 72-cell and 78-cell modules.
Soltec, a vertically built-in Spanish PV firm, mentioned in a current assertion that it has launched a brand new 125-meter-long, dual-row horizontal, single-axis photo voltaic tracker system. The SFOneX system has a monitoring vary of 55 levels, and there’s an choice to improve it to 60 levels.
“With its self-powered system, geared up with a devoted panel and a long-lasting battery, the SFOneX ensures as much as 4 days of autonomous operation with out daylight,” the corporate mentioned. “Its design with double rows linked by a versatile transmission axis not solely reduces the variety of monitoring motors and controllers by half but additionally offers a cheap resolution for photo voltaic initiatives.”
The corporate mentioned it may be used with 72-cell, 78-cell, or 60-cell modules – each crystalline and thin-film panels. It could actually adapt to each north-south and east-west orientations of as much as 15%. It could actually use a pushed pile, floor screws, or concrete and may deal with temperatures of as much as 55 C.
“Like all Soltec photo voltaic trackers, it options the tailored TeamTrack system that enables maximizing power seize by avoiding shading between rows,” the corporate mentioned. “Within the case of bifacial monitoring, this algorithm additionally balances manufacturing between diffuse and direct radiation to attain most efficiency. Moreover, the Diffuse Booster algorithm, geared up with superior sensor techniques and climate forecasting, permits for maximizing manufacturing even on cloudy days.”
As well as, the monitoring system can defend itself from robust wind by adapting to the optimum place. It additionally has a hail-protection algorithm that makes use of early detection to guard the PV modules from injury.
“The launch of the SFOneX photo voltaic tracker marks a milestone in effectivity and innovation within the photo voltaic business, highlighting its suitability for the US market attributable to its terrain adaptability, size, self-powered system, in addition to its financial effectivity in set up,” mentioned CEO Raúl Morales.
