Array Technologies manufactures Wattsun active trackers, which are designed for residential off-grid and grid-tie applications. Dual-axis tracker system allows tracker to follow sun’s elevation automatically. The Azimuth dual-axis tracker system is available in two models, AZ-125 tracker and AZ-225 tracker. The AZ-225 residential tracker system includes a gear drive, which rotates the PV array mounted on the pole so that the array’s bottom edge can stay parallel to the ground.
The AZ-225 residential tracker system provides stability in the wind with its gear drive feature. It is included with dual-axis system. This dual-axis option makes up-and-down movement possible. Dual-axis tracker from Array Technologies absorbs maximum power delivered from the sun. It is made of stainless steel hardware suitable for salt laden and high moisture environments. There is a Wattsun voltage converter used for PV systems.
The AZ-225 residential tracker system mounts up to 3300W. The PV array can occupy up to 225 square feet. This tracker system offered by Array Technologies is equipped with hardware required for mounting the PV modules. The Wattsun tracker system is handled by an optical sun-sensing device. Its positive drive mechanism and solid state electronic design ensure steady operation in harsh weather conditions. Tracker frame is constructed of structural aluminum, which is corrosion resistant and can provide long service life.
