High Tech Solar Trackers

as compared to similar investments in fixed structure installations.

The 140kWp HORIZONTAL DISTINCT ADVANTAGES

TRACKER is EASIER and This type of tracking system can increase power output by 30% as compared to
ground-mounted fixed structure systems, depending on the latitude of the location.

• SIMPLE MODULAR ASSEMBLY
FIXED structures. The design of a modular, low height structure results in simple assembly that does
not require cranes or lifting equipment, which saves time in the installation of the
solar PV system.

• NO WELDING REQUIRED AT THE LOCATION

The system requires no welding at the location: all the parts can be assembled using
fastening devices, thus reducing costs and assembly times.
