Solar Trackers

A solar tracker is a support structure for a PV module array that allows the array to follow the sun's pathway during the day.

As a result the PV modules are able to be directly exposed to sunlight all day long, improving their power efficiency and producing much more electricity when compared to stationary PV systems.

Benefits

The power output of a PV module depends on the amount of light it is exposed to. The PV module’s power output is maximized if it is always facing the sun. When compared to stationary arrays, an array that is able to track the sun provides more power early in the morning, late in the afternoon, and on cloudy days when the amount of sunlight is minimal. By tracking the sun and capturing all the light available, at any time of the day, your integrated PV system can maximize its performance, helping you realize a larger return on your solar power investment.

Our solar trackers are available in Single-Pole systems. Based on the type of application (residential or commercial functions) these trackers vary in the amount of modules they can accommodate. Our Single-Pole system can support as few as 2 modules (approx. 160 watts each) to as many as 39 modules (approx. 300 watts each) and powered by linear actuator drives. And can be linked for large-scale applications. Total capacity can be 7 kW per tracker.

The selection of a tracker depends on your application, specific PV modules and PV array size. Our tracker frames are precisely engineered for strength, fabricated from steel and structural aluminum and can be quickly assembled or disassembled for easy shipping and installation.
