3kW Solar Tracker

Description

SAT-3, SAT-5.5, SAT-6.6 Automatic Solar Panel Trackers enables your solar panels to generate maximum power from the Sun regardless of the time of day, or season of the year.

By following the Sun’s path throughout the day, you can get far more power from your solar panels comparing to fixed panels facing North and installed at a fixed angle, or split between sections facing East and West, and at different angles.

Being dual axis tracking, there is no need for any adjustments as the seasons of the year change, solar panels always face the Sun throughout the day.

During the design of the mechanical, structural, and automatic tracking controller, we have taken into consideration all the requirements to make it as efficient, reliable, and as easy as possible for installation and use.

Testing has shown, as shown on the graphs, that the dual axis solar panel trackers consistently out-perform fixed solar panels.

During this testing we had fixed solar panels horizontally positioned to compare them with automatic tracking panels, because fixed panels positioned at different angles would give different results during different seasons of the year, at different locations.

The trackers use high quality, heavy duty slewing drive for azimuth tracking, from South East, through North, to South West, (260 degrees movement), and heavy duty actuator for elevation tracking, horizontal to almost vertical position, (0 – 80 degrees), which covers the complete Sun’s path throughout the year, and is designed to work maintenance free for many years.

This tracking system has an incorporated wind sensor, which forces the tracker to park the panels horizontally during strong winds for protection.

Having these capacities, they usually cover the power needs of average households, and what is even more important, it provides more linear and consistent power source comparing to the fixed panels.

Starts to generate high power very soon after sunrise, and keeps producing high power just before sunset, meaning that you need smaller number of panels to achieve the same or higher power, maximising efficiency, and get your money back sooner.
