Horb a.N./Germany, November 2016. DEGER extends its S-series product line with a new single-axis, sensor controlled tracking system. The DEGERtracker S100 with pile foundation and intelligent tracking generates an average of 30% higher yield than fixed tilt systems.
With a maximum capacity of 78.6 square meters, the DEGERtracker S100 provides system integrators and designers with excellent flexibility for solar modules and is designed for wind speeds up to 110 km/h. By using a maximum east/west rotation angle of +/- 50° and the patented MLD* sensor, the single-axis tracking system aligns photovoltaic modules automatically to the best generation angle, giving the DEGERtracker an advantage of up to 30 percent higher yield on average than fixed tilt systems.
Newly developed, the DEGERtracker S100 has implemented a special worm gear rotation system which has even lower energy-consumption than the previous models of the S-series. To protect the system in the event of storms, the wind guard moves the modules of the DEGERtracker into the horizontal position during high winds to minimize the possibility of damage to the modules surface. With the efficient design of the DEGERtracker S100 including pre-installed wiring to the controller, the assembly was simplified, and the installation time has been reduced by a significant degree. The DEGERtrackers are not linked to each other and due to a robust and long-lasting bearing the maintenance and operation costs of the tracking system are very low.
