RayTracker manufactures and supplies solar tracking systems for various applications. The RayTracker GC solar tracker provides more energy than flat PV panels. This single-axis tracker system is designed to increase the energy yield of solar systems. The RayTracker GC is equipped with standard photovoltaic modules to provide a tracking system that is cost-effective.
The RayTracker single-axis tracker system positions the solar panels facing toward sun to produce maximum energy through the day. It features distributed actuation with a low-voltage DC actuator and 80 foot building-block unit. Distributed actuation permits for more energy and power. This eliminates mechanical connections between the rows. The 80 foot building-block of the solar tracking system is fitting for installing kilowatts and megawatts in tens and hundreds, respectively.
The RayTracker GC single-axis tracker system increases its energy production through Shade Avoidance Technology, which removes the tracker-to-tracker shading. Its tracking function is controlled by a microprocessor controller that utilizes accurate astronomical algorithm and GPS time reference to make the panels face the sun automatically. Each actuator’s position is monitored by the controller. One controller is capable of servicing 12 RayTracker GC units. The RayTracker GC is a PV racking system that is complete with pre-drilled panel mounts, hardware and module-specific. Its building-block unit is capable of housing 24 to 32 PV modules to generate power from 5.5kWp to 7kWp. This tracking system has a length of 79.7ft and height of 6ft, and weighs 1800lbs.
