You can email me at bobpublic@gmx.com

I’m certainly not an expert on tracking, but perhaps I can help you find some information.

Sa wat dee khrap, Mr. Bob. It’s very nice to talk with you. Can you give youe e-mail to me or some information can contact you. I have some question to talk about with you about design’s company tracking system. I need you help me we can join in the solar business in Thailand. I have one solar project 5 Mw and I’m one business man in the solar company but I have some trobule about the tracking system.

Sa wat dee khrap, Add.

That’s an interesting way to control panel angle. Folks can see it animated on the link. The amount of water in a cylinder controls the pitch of the panels. A water as ballast system.

A potential problem I can see with this system is the panels might be rocked back and forth in the wind.

I wonder if a simple hydraulic system might be better? Solenoid valves would extend or retract the pistons as the Sun tracks across the sky.

A photocell at the bottom of a cylinder is probably all that is needed for a sensor. One computer could easily control an entire solar farm by systematically checking the amount of light hitting the sensor and sending signals to the valves as needed.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Thailand and I’m pretty sure you use the same Sun we do here in the US. ;o)

I’ve never heard of a water tracking system and have no idea of how one might work. Can you link a site that explains what you are talking about? Post a picture?

Oh, bull.

Begone.

Solar and wind and coal are already completely obsolete.
Solar is a massive danger also as panels turn radioactive after 25-27 years. Imagine the coming mess.

Solar, wind, and coal will soon be bankrupt due to new techs coming online soon. I look forward to selling them all short. Get ready to join in everyone, the rally down will be huge.

Possibly. Or the low cost of manufacturing there.

Why is Canadian Solar in China?
Is it because of all of our Chinese restaurants in Canada?

yes completely do agree with you

By: Zachary Shahan

Zachary Shahan — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 21:39:00 +0000

No disagreement here!

But I do find it interesting seeing how the market is changing, and keeping up with particular manufacturers a bit.

and, actually, we’ve got a number of such studies listed here: http://cleantechnica.com/70-80-99-9-100-renewables-study-central/

Absolutely!

Climate change is a global problem. We need the globe to switch to renewables.

We need to flood the world with efficient, durable, cheap, mass-produced photovoltaics — and the capacity to manufacture them — as rapidly as possible. It matters little which company or nation does it.
