The new Trxone, a single-row tracker with short, independently tracked rows that are not subject to the master row tracking algorithm. The trackers are manufactured separately for each project.
The new Spanish startup Soletrax has announced the launch of Trxone, a short single-row tracker that is manufactured for each project and allows independent tracking of the rows so that they are not subordinate to the master row tracking algorithm.
“Its limited length makes it adapt better to the terrain, both in the Z axis and in the XY,” the company explains.
The single-row tracker allows independent tracking of the rows, so that plant generation is optimal and some rows are not subordinate to the master row’s tracking algorithm. This tracking optimization is combined with economies of scale, as only one set of power supply, backup battery and tracker controller is used for each set of rows. “In short, the best of both worlds: the advantage of one row in terms of generation and that of multiple rows in terms of economies of scale,” the company notes.
Soletrax says it is an “innovative solar tracker based on optimizing generation, reducing ground movements, improving GCR (Ground-Coverage Ratio), ensuring backup systems and minimizing operating and maintenance costs .” The company explains that “one of the most innovative aspects is the tailor-made design of the products for each of the projects, which allows greater versatility, use, adaptation to the terrain, reduction of shadows and in short greater efficiency makes. In addition, they use predictive weather analytics and machine learning to increase energy generation over the life of the plant.”
The Optitrax controller includes algorithms such as 3D backtracking, diffuse radiant response, split-cell panel optimization and alerts for various extreme wind, snow and hail situations.
It also includes a SCADA solution that allows you to monitor and guide processes remotely, with an interactive 3D interface that displays the status of the photovoltaic installation in real time.
DNV Energy has approved the tracker’s calculation report. Soletrax states that it has already signed a pipeline of projects totaling 4 GW that it will implement between 2024 and 2029 “with an IPP of renowned global prestige.”
Soletrax has also designed Fixone, a fixed structure for PV installations that is “versatile, reliable, competitive and able to adapt to any project.”
