SAO
PAULO, Sept. 5, 2024 /CNW/ -- Arctech, the
world's leading solar tracking, racking and BIPV solutions
provider, has unveiled its latest innovation: SkyLight, a
tracker set to revolutionize the solar energy sector. The launch
took place during an exclusive event on August 26th called SkyLight Solar Synergy, held
in partnership with JA Solar and Solis - renowned manufacturers of
solar modules and inverters respectively.
The 1P Linked Dual-row Solar Tracking System SkyLight is
designed with a single-point drive mechanism, catering to low wind
speed regions, particularly in the Latin American market. It offers
an optimal combination of reliability, safety, stability, and
cost-effectiveness.
Equipped with self-developed slew drives that allow for an
operating angle of ±60° with tracking accuracy ≤0.2°, SkyLight
demonstrates consistent and reliable performance throughout its
entire life cycle. Meanwhile, the design of the single-point drive
mechanism reduces the number of components in SkyLight compared to
conventional solar trackers, resulting in a reduction in production
costs.
Additionally, by incorporating new split-design polymer bearings
that eliminate pipe threading and calibration, SkyLight
significantly reduces installation time by 30% and cuts down on
both installation and maintenance costs by 10%. Furthermore,
SkyLight's connectors made from high polymer material internally
connect to the torque tube, providing a more precise fit while
reducing installation costs by 30%. Featuring an innovative square
torque tube with rounded corners also enhances SkyLight's bending
and torsional capacity while minimizing steel utilization.
SkyLight, functioning as a terrain-following solar tracker,
effectively reduces cut and fill earthworks by approximately 50%,
resulting in reduced construction costs and minimal disruption to
soil and vegetation, thereby optimizing ecological benefits.
Additionally, with its high adaptability to terrains of up to 20%
N-S slope, SkyLight provides fault tolerance of up to 15% for
adjacent row foundations. This enhances land utilization rates
and installation capacity while accommodating various
scenarios.
Furthermore, Arctech's third-generation AI intelligent algorithm
enables SkyLight to achieve power generation gain superposition of
up to 8%, maximizing energy output and reducing LCOE.
Mr. Cai Hao, President of
Arctech, announced, "The launch of SkyLight marks a pivotal moment
for our company and the solar industry. We are proud to introduce a
product that not only meets but exceeds the demands of modern solar
projects, offering unparalleled efficiency, reliability, and
sustainability. SkyLight is a testament to our ongoing commitment
to driving innovation in the solar sector."
Fortunately, following the launch of SkyLight, Arctech
secured orders for this groundbreaking solution during Intersolar
South America 2024. In addition to two projects that will implement
SkyLight - namely a 468MW project in Bahia, Brazil and a DG Package II initiative with
a capacity of 160MW located in Brazil's Northeast region - Arctech also
secured another project: the 236MW SkyLine II project situated in
Mendoza, Argentina.
With the launch of SkyLight, Arctech reaffirms its commitment to
leading the transformation of the solar market, offering products
that not only follow but define global trends in innovation and
sustainability.
