Horizontal Single Axis Solar Tracker Systems - S Series

The single-axis tracking system is a linked type solar tracking device used in photovoltaic (PV) power plants. Through a single-axis rotating structure, the system allows PV modules to roughly follow the sun's azimuth from east to west throughout the day, helping to improve the power generation efficiency of the PV array. The system employs a linkage design, which links multiple tracker into one set. The tracker control unit supports multiple power supply methods and communication protocols, making it suitable for power plant projects of varying sizes and terrain conditions.

Product Description

This system employs a control strategy combining closed-loop time control and GPS signals. An MCU calculates the theoretical solar position and drives push rods to rotate the module support within a ±50° range. Tracking accuracy is typically within 2°. Equipped with an anemometer, the system automatically stow to a protective position when strong winds are detected, reducing the impact of wind loads on the structure. For potential shading between modules during early morning or late evening, the system supports back tracking, which can reduce power generation losses caused by shading to some extent. The structural design references wind tunnel test data and dampers can be selected according to project requirements to reduce the possibility of resonance under specific wind conditions. The control system has an IP65 protection rating and can operate in ambient temperatures ranging from -30°C to 65°C.

Advantage

▶ High-capacity design:

The linked structure allows each tracker unit to install more strings in each set, reducing the number of drives per megawatt.

 

▶ Stability assistance:

The dampers help suppress system resonance under specific wind conditions.

 

▶ Multi-Row control and monitoring:

Multi rows of solar trackers can be controlled in one set of tracking control unit. The control system supports real-time monitoring of tracker operation status, helping to promptly detect anomalies and reduce potential power generation losses.

 

▶ Intelligent tracking logic:

Based on real-time data and meteorological information (in conjunction with an anemometer), the tracking angle can be dynamically optimized to improve solar energy utilization efficiency.

 

▶ Structural design basis:

Targeted structural design based on wind tunnel test results helps improve the system's wind resistance stability throughout its entire life cycle.

Applicable Scenarios

▪ Large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic power plants (flat or slightly undulating terrain)

▪ Mid-to-high latitude regions, areas with significant variations in solar azimuth angle

▪ Power plants with a desire to reduce the frequency of operation and maintenance inspections

 

 

Important Notes:

▪ The operating wind speed of 18 m/s is a standard reference value. In actual projects, customized designs can be implemented based on local wind frequency distribution. It is recommended to conduct a specialized wind engineering assessment in areas with complex wind fields.

 

▪ Wind resistance of 55 m/s corresponds to ASCE. Standard 7-10: Design wind speed standards may vary depending on the project location; please verify according to local regulations.

 

▪ The maximum number of solar module depends on module size and weight; actual configuration requires calculation and confirmation based on drive system and structural load.

 

▪ Additional anti-corrosion measures may be necessary in highly corrosive environments (such as coastal areas or highly polluted industrial zones).

 

▪ Typical operating power consumption is approximately 0.3kW·h/day; actual consumption will be affected by tracking frequency, communication method, and nighttime reset.

 

▪ The automatic high-wind reset function relies on anemometer signals; regular anemometer calibration is recommended to avoid malfunctions or response delays.

 

▪ The back tracking function can reduce shading during early morning and evening hours, but it cannot completely eliminate shadow effects due to array spacing and terrain limitations.

 

 

Summary

This linked type single-axis tracking system combines a linked structure, closed-loop time control and GPS tracking, multi-point communication, and multiple power supply methods, making it suitable for various types of photovoltaic power plants. 

 

The system design incorporates wind tunnel test data, damper selection, independent monitoring, and fault warning systems to balance power generation enhancement with operational stability. Overall, this is a single-axis tracking product with significant advantages in engineering practicality, environmental adaptability, and customizability.
