Trackers add capital cost to the project and they involve moving parts that thave traditionally been associated with:complex designing,failure prone, high repairing costs and extra ordinary maintenance.

Suntrix provides an innovative solution to secure the investment by producing redundancy-designed trackers, which bring the highest reliabilityto the project ever experienced in the solar industry before in a very cost effective manner.

This new reliability standard consists in providing a backup for Control Unit, Electrical Motors and Tracking Sensors. Suntrix’ patented design eliminates undesirable system downtimes which compromise the production, and cut extra ordinary maintenance costs. Therefore, Suntrix Horizontal Single Axis Trackers maximise the overall PV project performance for its lifetime.

Solution to higher Return on Investment

As feed-in-tarrifs continue to decrease, investors are looking for higher and safer production from their PV project in order toincrease their return on investment. In the solar industry there is no other single component of the Balance-of-System (BOS) ableto increase the energy prodution like a tracker.

Optimum utilization of PV technology

In order to harvest the major ammount of kWh possible from solar PV panels, a high degree of accurancy is required to ensurethat the sunlight is directed on the panels’ surface. During morning and evening hours, and also while there is change in seasons,solar panels installed at fixed angle fail to operate at their best potential. This occurs becasue of the non optimal allignment with the sun which leads to less energy output.

Solar Trackers significantly improve the ammount of the generated electricity through constant orieantation of the PV panels towards the sun during the whole day. There are various kinds of trackers available in the solar industry and the decision to choose right tracker depends on many factors such as location and project characteristics.

India’s mid and low latitude geographic location, makes it idal for the deployment of Horizontal Single-Axis trackers where theincrease of the energy output can be up to 20% as compared to fixed tilt installations.

Suntrixs’engineers are available to work togheather with constructors and developers to analyse and suggest regarding various technicalaspects for the integration of a tracking system. The most suitable design is suggested after the evaluation of project requirments such as landprofile, environment, module choice, array layout, electrical configuration, auxiliary power requirment, system communication etc., in order to obtain the best performance form the solar power plant. System Integration Engineer from Suntrix is present at site to guide the installation process and ensure that commissioning goes according scheduled timeline along with high quality.
