The TracSmarT+1P tracker is designed to enhance the efficiency, speed, and reliability of solar energy installations. With an emphasis on simplifying installation processes, reducing mechanical failures, and adapting to diverse environments, Solar Steel aims to address some of the most pressing challenges in the solar energy sector.
Key Features of the TracSmarT+1P Solar Tracker
1. Reduced Installation Time
The TracSmarT+1P tracker boasts an optimized structure that allows for faster and more efficient installation. By minimizing assembly complexity, this tracker significantly reduces the time required to get the system online, accelerating the return on investment for solar projects. This reduced labor cost is a major advantage for developers aiming to improve the economic viability of their solar installations.
2. Enhanced Tracking Range
A standout feature of the TracSmarT+1P is its ability to tilt up to 60 degrees, allowing the tracker to adjust its orientation to optimize sunlight capture throughout the day. This flexibility ensures maximum energy output, even in challenging weather conditions such as heavy rain or hail. By capturing more solar energy, this tracker enhances overall system performance and efficiency.
3. Fewer Components for Simplicity and Durability
With fewer components and a pre-assembled main structure, the TracSmarT+1P tracker simplifies the installation process and minimizes the potential for mechanical failures. This reduction in complexity not only makes assembly easier but also lowers maintenance costs over the system's lifetime. By simplifying the design, Solar Steel increases the durability and reliability of the system.
4. Robust Mechanical Locking System
To ensure that the tracker remains stable in extreme weather conditions, the TracSmarT+1P incorporates a mechanical locking system. This locking mechanism ensures that the tracker remains securely in position, even during high winds, preventing any damage to the solar infrastructure. By minimizing aeroelastic effects, this design enhances the safety and reliability of the solar project.
5. SmarTSlope Technology for Uneven Terrain
The SmarTSlope technology, integrated into the TracSmarT+1P, allows the tracker to adapt efficiently to uneven terrain. This ensures that the system can be installed in a variety of environments, maximizing solar energy capture regardless of the site characteristics. The adjustability of the system eliminates the need for shortened rows, enhancing energy efficiency and optimizing project performance, even in less-than-ideal conditions.
Bifacial Design for Increased Energy Efficiency
The TracSmarT+1P tracker features a bifacial design, allowing it to capture sunlight from both the front and rear sides of the panels. This dual-surface energy collection method significantly improves the overall energy output, making the TracSmarT+1P an ideal solution for projects aiming to maximize energy generation. The bifacial configuration is already becoming the dominant choice for upcoming solar projects and offers a clear advantage in terms of efficiency.
Single-Row Option for Complex Layouts
In addition to the dual-row version, Solar Steel also offers a single-row version of the TracSmarT+1P. This option is designed for complex layouts that are common in certain markets. The single-row configuration adheres strictly to local regulations, making it a flexible choice for developers operating in regions with specific layout requirements. Additionally, this version integrates the AgriPV technology designed for agrivoltaic applications, offering ground clearance of up to 2.1 meters. This makes it suitable for agricultural and livestock applications without compromising on energy performance.
Environmental and Agricultural Compatibility
With increasing demand for agrivoltaic systems, the TracSmarT+1P is perfectly suited for integration into agricultural settings, helping farmers harness solar energy without disrupting farming operations. The tracker’s ability to maintain sufficient ground clearance enables it to support both agricultural and livestock activities, offering a win-win scenario for solar developers and farmers alike.
