AZIMUTH - Model MS-1E- 15 - 1 Axis Seasonal Tracker
From Seasonal Tracker
MECASOLAR Seasonal 1-Axis Azimuth trackers from MECASOLAR have a Polar Axis that can vary the tilting angle manually. This variation in the tilt degree can range from 35º, ideal for the winter season to 20º for the summer season. The required degree of tilt at any given moment can be made by the customer at any time of the year, depending on the season of the year and latitude in which the facility is located. The operation to change the angle of the Polar Axis takes 10 minutes.

Advantages
MULTI-POWER and MULTIPLE MANUFACTURER FLEXIBILITY
The design of the omega panel support structure provides the MECASOLAR tracker with incredible FLEXIBILITY when it comes to installing different panels made by various manufacturers. The system can handle a maximum power of 15,36 kWp.
MANUALLY ADJUSTABLE POLAR TILT
On the MS1E TRACKER the polar axis can be manually adjusted, adapting to the various seasons as established to maximize production. Adjusted by a manual micrometric screw it enables the angle of the traditional 1-axis solar azimuth tracker to be tilted between 20º and 35º on the horizontal plane, thus increasing production by an additional 5% with regard to the traditional 1-axis azimuth tracker.
MINIMUM LAND OCCUPATION
The plots occupied by the MS-1E TRACKER are very similar to the plots occupied by the traditional NON-seasonal 1-axis solar tracker, which results in a greater return on investment.
FOUNDATION
Foundation on surface footing - 13 cubic yards - that does not require any excavation. It is only necessary to clean off the terrain, removing the top layer of vegetation and levelling the ground.
OUTPUT / THREE PHASE CONNECTION
Each of the three phases is connected to each one of the 3 inverters. This feature reduces losses due to wiring and provides a more balanced power output. Upon any damage in any of the 3 phases, 2/3 of the installation is still productive.
INDEPENDENT CONTROL
Each MECASOLAR solar tracker comes equipped with an independent PLC controller, which works to monitor solar movements, to handle the prevailing weather conditions and to perform remote operations.
STURDY, EASY TO INSTALL, REDUCED MAINTENANCE, AND LOW POWER USAGE
The MECASOLAR tracker motors consume less energy per year (40 kWh/year), resulting in reduced maintenance. Likewise, the robustness of their design and fabrication guarantees the investment over the long term. Furthermore, the easy installation reduces labour costs and time spent on the construction project.
