Tracker for large-scale solar projects

Soltec’s new solar tracker, SFOneX, has a length of 410ft (125m) and is designed to adapt to various types of projects, minimizing the need for civil works thanks to its terrain adaptability. The SFOneX conforms to natural contours, adapting to both north-south and east-west slopes of up to 15%, ensuring optimal land utilization and simplifying the installation process through direct piling. With its self-powered system, equipped with a dedicated panel and a long-lasting battery, the SFOneX guarantees up to four days of autonomous operation without sunlight. Furthermore, its design with double rows connected by a flexible transmission axis not only reduces the number of tracking motors and controllers by half but also provides a cost-effective solution for solar projects. The SFOneX solar tracker is designed for efficient installation and operation. With a reduced number of foundation piles, pre-assembled sets, and standardized components, the SFOneX offers economic efficiency by reducing both civil work and installation costs, as well as long-term operational and maintenance costs. It features the adapted TeamTrack system that allows maximizing energy capture by avoiding shading between rows. In the case of bifacial tracking, this algorithm balances production between diffuse and direct radiation to always achieve maximum performance. Additionally, through the Diffuse Booster algorithm, equipped with advanced sensor systems and weather forecasting, it allows maximizing production even on cloudy days. Soltec’s tracking technology also features Dy-WIND technology, which protects the plant in case of strong winds by adopting the optimal defense position for plant protection. Additionally, it features a hail protection algorithm, an early detection defense system, equipped with sensors with rapid response by the trackers to position themselves in the most advantageous position.
