Mass Megawatts - Solar-Power Tracking System (STS)
Over the past 15 years, Mass Megawatts has continually strived to innovate and improve alternative energy systems and technologies. This includes new innovations that significantly improve the efficiency of solar-power systems. Our latest innovation, the Mass Megawatts Solar-Power Tracking System (STS), is designed to increase solar energy production by 28% with only a 5% increase in system cost.
Products Details
The patented, STS technology is designed to automatically adjust the position of solar panels to receive an optimal level of direct sunlight throughout the day as the sun travels from east to west. This delivers a 28% increase in solar-power generation as compared to stationary, non-tracking configurations. Unlike other solar tracking technologies, the Mass Megawatts STS utilizes a low-cost tracking framework that adds stability to the overall system while improving energy production levels.

The STS utilizes a revolutionary, patent-pending framework that significantly reduces the torque required to adjust the position of solar panels throughout the day. Unlike other tracking technologies that apply a vertical, up-and-down motion, the STS rotates the solar panels into position using a horizontal motion. The amount of torque needed to accomplish this movement is minimal, and can be accomplished with a simpler, lower-cost design.
The STS framework also allows multiple solar units to share the same tracking mechanism. Instead of applying a separate tracker to each independent solar unit, many solar-power units can be ‘daisy-chained’ together to share the same tracking mechanism with the same actuator. This dramatically reduces the cost to implement a solar tracking solution at larger capacity installations, with costs projected to drop from 30% to 5%. A substantial savings that significantly improves ROI and shortens the payback-period. With the Mass Megawatts STS, you get a 28% increase in solar-power generation with a minimal increase in capital expenditures.

The STS framework supports most solar panel brands and can be retrofitted to existing solar-power systems. The STS is also designed to withstand high-winds and extreme weather with the use of bumpers and shock absorbers that prevent sudden erratic movements during high-wind periods. The bumpers provide a safe landing place for the solar panels in the event of extreme weather, while the shock absorbers stabilize the panel movements during high winds. This improves the overall stability and efficiency of the Mass Megawatts STS.
The STS allows commercial and residential solar-power users, as well as developers, to lower the costs associated with solar-power generation. The targeted power-capacity can been reached with fewer solar panels and/or power-generation can be increased far beyond current levels. In many locations, this improved power-output translates into a 40% rate of return for the customer with investment payback occurring in the 3rd year. Further, by taking advantage of a lease program or power purchase agreement (PPA) arrangement with the company, a customer may realize an immediate, positive cash flow, as energy savings and/or revenues can exceed the monthly payment due.

Starting at 6.25 kW rated units, a Mass Megawatts STS system is appropriate for ground-level, residential and business sites, as well as, commercial, roof-top installations, and has a rated life expectancy of 30 years. Installation can be completed in a few business days, and there is no annual, routine maintenance to perform. Mass Megawatts coordinates all aspects of system delivery, including permitting,installation, and working to obtain any available tax incentives. They monitor the performance of each system, and provide a full, performance guarantee.
