Zylo Solar
Engineered for maximum endurance and reliability under tropical climate conditions, these tracking modules guarantee up to 35% higher energy yield than traditional fixed solar structures.
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) holds massive economic potential through its rich copper and cobalt deposits, yet it experiences critical challenges with grid electrification. While the national hydro-electric potential is vast, particularly with the Inga dams, the grid covers only approximately 19% of urban centers and less than 1% of rural territories. For heavy industries, specifically in mining capitals like Kolwezi and Lubumbashi, load-shedding and transmission line outages lead to operational downtime, forcing a reliance on expensive diesel generators.
To bypass infrastructure limitations, the C&I (Commercial and Industrial) sector is pivoting rapidly toward utility-scale, decentralized solar installations. Solar energy, coupled with intelligent storage and trackers, provides the highest return on investment by generating reliable, low-cost power. Incorporating solar trackers ensures optimal power generation profiles that closely match industrial and mining loads throughout daylight hours.
Globally, the solar tracking system market is transitioning from static racking structures to smart, AI-driven single-axis and dual-axis solar trackers. In regions close to the equator, like the DRC, solar tracking algorithms require customization. Because the path of the sun features very high zenith angles year-round, tracking systems must employ dynamic backtracking algorithms to prevent mutual module shadowing, particularly in hilly topography found in southern and eastern Congo.
In the DRC Copperbelt, tracking hardware must withstand two major environmental challenges: high-precipitation wet seasons and dusty dry seasons. Dust accumulation on panels (soiling) degrades performance. Using intelligent solar trackers, panels can be programmed to tilt to maximum angles during the night to shed dust and rainwater, reducing manual washing cycles.
Structurally, our hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel trackers, finished with Zn-Al-Mg coatings, offer advanced protection against rust and chemical runoff. Heavy-duty slewing drives and intelligent wind-stow systems ensure stability against gusty winds during heavy equatorial thunderstorms.
To ensure total reliability, our tracking components integrate seamlessly with the following specialized off-grid and utility-grade solar components:

This technology is a key solution for addressing challenges such as urban peak electricity consumption and optimizing grid stability.
Integrating solar tracking installations with existing industrial infrastructure in the DR Congo requires specialized mechanical and electrical engineering interfaces. Our solutions address the full spectrum of industrial energy requirements:
Tailored for remote copper and cobalt mines. The single-axis tracking systems adjust high-capacity bifacial modules to capture morning and afternoon sun, integrating with battery energy storage systems (BESS) and diesel gensets. This minimizes localized LCOE and stabilizes mineral processing units.
For decentralized municipal and regional setups in provinces like South Kivu and Kasai. These tracking installations increase overall output, lowering the required investment in PV panels and storage systems, making clean energy affordable for remote communities.
Optimized ballasted and structural systems for logistics centers, factories, and commercial centers in Kinshasa. These solutions utilize durable racking to prevent water leakage and secure panels against local storm hazards.
Our extensive line of single and dual-axis solar trackers is designed to increase energy yield across residential, commercial, and utility-scale installations.
