| PowerLight markets PowerTracker into Europe  PowerLight announced that its PowerTracker Solar Power System is available to photovoltaic developers and system integrators for large-scale projects in Europe. Fully scalable, PowerTracker systems can scale from several-hundred kilowatt sites to large multi-megawatt installations. Its single-axis design enables solar panels to automatically follow the path of the sun throughout the day to maximize the panels' energy generation. Concurrently, PowerTracker utilizes a backtracking feature to avoid shading across panels, which can result in solar panel hot spots that degrade performance over time. The result is higher electricity output that can increase energy capture by up to 35% over fixed systems.In addition, PowerTracker contains fewer moving parts than dual-axis tracking systems, thereby reducing operating and maintenance costs. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
