Solar power is no longer just about installing photovoltaic panels on existing rooftops to convert a bit of electricity with sunlight. Nowadays, people are finding unique ways to integrate solar energy into architectural, vehicular and even fashion designs from the beginning.

RESIDENTIAL PANELS

Those of you living in the tropics and along the equator, you would appreciate better how nature bestow their resources to mankind.

SOLAR PANEL CONSTRUCTION

Solar panel construction isn't as difficult as you might think. Professionally built solar panels are normally constructed using high quality materials and procedures.

ENERGY DEVELOPMENT

“New Jersey’s Outer Continental Shelf is a resource that holds a great promise for our energy independence and should be considered a haven for the clean, renewable and environmentally friendly energy that wind power provides,” said New Jersey Governor Dave Corzine.

SOLAR INDUSTRIES

Solar Industries mission statement is to be recognized as the best solar system design, contracting and construction company available with the greatest level of performance around the globe.

Mecasolar trackers adapted for use at 600 kW CPV plant in Italy

12:41 AM 1 Comment



On January 11th, 2012 Mecasolar (Fustiñana, Spain) reported that it has delivered 55 tracking systems to a 600 kW concentrating solar photovoltaic (CPV) plant in Italy. These trackers will be retrofitted to the plant, which is currently operating.
Each tracker will support 48 230 watt CPV modules, for a total of 11 kW per tracker. The CPV modules use a 5x concentration design, and Mecasolar states that this project shows that its trackers can be easily adapted to other types of low-concentration CPV modules available on the market.

Precision of 0.5 degrees anticipated
This is the first time that Mecasolar trackers have been adapted to low-concentration CPV modules, and the company expects its trackers to achieve a precision of 0.5 degrees. Mecasolar trackers used with crystalline silicon PV modules have an accuracy between 2.88 degrees and 1.44 degrees.
The CPV plant also features Tripower 10000 inverters from SMA Solar Technology AG (Niestetal, Germany).
The company states that it will launch a concentration tracker in 2012, and in December 2011 launched a 114 kW polar-aligned tracker.
