Solar Trackers

 

Tracking greatly improves the performance of PV systems since it lets the PV panels follow the sun all the time. As a result, the panel surface is always at an optimum angle to the suns rays which guarantees the highest efficiency.

 

 Philadelphia solar  tracking systems include a frame on which nine photovoltaic panels with a total power of  2.16Kwp are mounted.

 

The frame moves so that it faces the sun as it travels across the sky during the day. The frame is driven by a 80 W dc motor which revolves in response to the movement of the sun.

 

The selection of the motor is based on its supply voltage, speed (rev/min), and gear ratio. The gear ratio can decrease the motion ratio even further.  All these selections are based on the criteria of producing enough torque to move the heavy photovoltaic panels.

 

The movement of the motor is controlled by a microcontroller that turns the motor on and off depending on the time during the day.

Solar tracker applications

 

SOLAR WATER PUMPING SYSTEMS

Solar pumps are powered by PV where they offer a clean and simple alternative to fuel-burning engines and generators for domestic water, livestock and irrigation.

 

They are most effective during dry and sunny days and require no fuel deliveries, and very little maintenance.

 

Please contact us for details of water pumping PV systems to suit your requirements.

 

TELECOMS AND COMMUNICATION

Solar electricity has become an attractive energy source for telecoms. In remote sites, solar electricity is the only practical energy source to feed the telecoms appliances.

 

Therefore, the reliability of the solar powered system on remote and unmanned sites must be extremely high and have to operate under extreme weather conditions. Our design department has developed many solutions for remote locations, please contact us with your requirement.
