Torque Tube for Solar Panel Tracking System
Every solar panel tracking system has a torque tube supported on upper ends of vertical posts. The torque tube is usually in round or square shape with galvanizing coating surface. Different from other pipe mills, TUSPIPE does not only delivery you regular galvanized tubes, but also adds stability and saves materials. TUSPIPE focuses on the quality of raw materials, manufacturing processes, documentations, and all techniques you request. Such as the twist, the degree of R angle, the quality of coating, the packaging design, the lead time, and also the services.
In a solar tracking system, the torque tube is a critical structural component. Torque tubes are typically circular, square, pentagonal, octagonal, or D in shape and coated with galvanizing. The torque tube connects all PV modules, ensuring that they all track the sun’s path simultaneously.
Torque tubes have been used in solar tracker designs to handle both bending and torsional forces. Solar trackers point solar panels or modules in the direction of the sun as it moves across the sky. These devices rotate their orientation throughout the day to track the sun’s path and capture the maximum amount of energy. And the torque tube on the tracker is the component that assists in the movement of the panels. Trackers aid in minimizing the angle of incidence (the angle formed by a ray of light and a line perpendicular to the surface) between the incoming light and the panel in photovoltaic systems. This significantly increases the amount of energy generated by the panels. Single-axis solar trackers, in particular, rotate the solar panel(s) around a single axis. There are several types of single-axis trackers, including horizontal, vertical, tilted, and polar aligned trackers. Each of these trackers rotates supported panels about a single axis.
Energy demand has increased over the world as a result of economic growth, rising prosperity, a rising rate of urbanization, and rising per capita energy consumption. Single-axis trackers are becoming increasingly popular among developers, owing to the additional energy yield they provide over fixed-tilt devices. As indicated by our increased market share, TUSPIPE has been able to meet this increasing demand.
