Solar expert enables power optimization of solar systems, leading to 45% increase in energy harvest
Alheim-Heinebach, October 25, 2011 – Kirchner Solar Group announced today it will present the high energy yielding photovoltaic (PV) tracking solution sonnen_system at the UK solar industry’s leading event, Solar Power UK 2011, this week. The astronomically guided tracking system follows the sun, to ensure that an optimum sun radiation angle of 90 degrees is always maintained, allowing solar power plant operators to increase their energy harvest by up to 45% in comparison to parallel roof mounted PV systems. The precise, dual-axis solution automatically aligns solar modules by means of a pivot, resulting in a more constant and predictable level of energy output. It also allows space to be used directly underneath the solar panels, to help maximise use of land, for uses such as parking or agriculture. |
