❓ Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the advantages of a Single Axis Solar Tracker?
Single axis trackers increase energy production by 20% to 30% compared to fixed-tilt systems by following the sun's trajectory throughout the day, ensuring optimal light absorption.
2. How does the system protect itself during high winds?
The system features an automatic wind protection mode. When wind speeds exceed safe limits (17 m/s), the controller moves the panels to a horizontal "stow" position to minimize wind load.
3. What is the maintenance requirement for the SAST model?
The SAST model is designed for durability with IP65 protection and hot-dip galvanized steel. Routine maintenance is minimal, primarily involving periodic inspections of the driving mechanical parts and sensors.
4. Can the tracking system operate in extreme weather conditions?
Yes, the standard working temperature is -30ºC to +70ºC. For extreme environments, we offer customizable solutions that operate from -50ºC up to +85ºC, including optional snow removal modes.
5. What type of tracking algorithm does the system use?
The system utilizes a high-precision astronomical algorithm combined with a position sensor closed-loop control to ensure a tracking accuracy of ≤±2°.
6. Does the tracker return to its starting position at night?
Yes, the system includes a "Night Return Mode" which automatically resets the panels to the east-facing position after sunset, ready for the next morning's sun.
