Solar Tracker RT-1H, Single Axis
Solar Tracker RT-1H, Single Axis
Renen Power Technologies has introduced a Single Axis Tracker, RT-1H, for solar utility scale PV projects. The tracker comes in modular units of 23kWp and is the only product in the Indian market that includes full sun tracking. This feature allows accurate tracking from early morning to sunset. This is made possible by allowing ±70° rotation of solar panels around the north-south axis. Competing products allow only ±45° rotation. Tracking is based on an astronomical algorithm and GPS technology and can yield up to 21% energy gain depending on local conditions. This can increase a project’s RoE and CUF by 4%. The tracker also mitigates shadow losses that are prevalent in fixed solar structures. This is made possible by a feature known as backtracking that allows PV arrays to be placed in tight rows such that inter row shadows are avoided. This also optimizes land usage of trackers. Among the reliability and safety enhancements the tracker includes features such as Active Wind Protection, limit switches and IP65 rated components. At high wind speeds the tracker automatically moves to a stow position to protect the structure. In this position the tracker can be designed to withstand up to 180 kph wind gusts.
