Floating Solar Poised For World Domination, With Tracking
The floating solar revolution is coming to America, along with a new high tech tracking system to boost efficiency.
Solar Trackers
Tracking The Sun Makes Solar Panels More Efficient On Land & On Water
Tracking systems for solar installations can boost efficiency by up to 40 percent, making return on investment times shorter.
Chevy Dealership Adds Solar Trackers
Cutting pollution and global heating emissions in the United States is dependent more than anything else on 1) shifting from fossil fuel powered vehicles to electric vehicles and human-powered transit, and 2) switching from coal and natural gas to solar and wind energy. Auto dealers have had an … interesting … [continued]
Array Technologies Announces SmarTrack™ Production Boost of up to 5%
Machine Learning Software Optimizes Energy Yield on Uneven Terrain and in Diffuse Light Conditions.
Bifacial Solar Panels That Follow The Sun Now Most Cost Effective
A bifacial solar panel is a solar panel that can collect energy from the front side and the rear side (a normal monofacial panel only collects energy from one side). Bifacial solar technology was created in the latter 1960s. It was dormant while the broader PV market exploded. It was too costly for the incremental energy production improvements.
Solar FlexRack Will Close More Than 500 Megawatts Of Sales In 2019
Solar FlexRack, a division of Northern States Metals, will close over 500 megawatts of business in 2019. Changes to the international supply chain and internal operations are supporting the surge in business. Steve Daniel, EVP of Sales & Marketing at Solar FlexRack, answered some questions for CleanTechnica about the recent sales surge.
Sunfolding’s Pneumatic Solar Tracker Builds 60 Megawatt Pipeline
Maverick pneumatic solar tracker maker Sunfolding has amassed a pipeline of 60 megawatts for the first quarter of 2019, following its 2018 commercial rollout, says Matthew Schneider, the vice president of product at the San Francisco-based company. Sunfolding also is supplying its first delivery contract for a utility-scale photovoltaic array, a 39 MW project in California, using the company’s motor-less T29 single-axis design.
Atlas Renewable Adds NEXTracker Solar Software In Latin America
Atlas Renewable Energy has adopted NEXTracker’s TrueCapture orientation software for several new solar projects in Latin America, while retrofits are in the works for older arrays lacking the control system. Atlas has more than 1 gigawatt of early-stage to fully operational projects across the region.
The Solar Tracker Global Growth Rate Is Stunning
The multi-billion dollar global demand for solar trackers is red hot, and expected to continue to glow red for at least the next five years, according to the latest market forecast. The global single-axis solar photovoltaic tracker market is expected to show a cumulative average growth rate of close to 28% during the period 2019-2023.
Sunfolding’s Unique Solar Bellows Selected for CA Project
The ancient air bellows has been repurposed once again, to drive solar tracker arrays created by Sunfolding, of San Francisco, in a 39 megawatt installation at an undisclosed California location. The cost-saving design has attracted the attention of the ARPA-e program, DOE’s SunShot program, and several venture capitalists.
