TrinaTracker, a division of China’s Trina Solar, claims that its new Vanguard 1P tracker system has a maximum length of 140 meters and can be equipped with N-type modules.
TrinaTracker has created an updated version of its Vanguard 1P Smart Tracking Solution. The new product has a maximum tracker length of 140 meters and can support more than 700 W of N-type modules.
“The improved model boasts a cutting-edge multi-motor system equipped with a slewing drive and a bi-damper system,” the company said in a statement.
“Its innovative design facilitates the construction of longer trackers while minimizing oscillation time, averting instabilities, improving dynamic response, and raising the critical wind speed threshold.
The multi-motor feature guarantees precise tracking under the most challenging conditions.”
The upgraded version has a 60-degree tracking range on a single axis in a row. The steel frame is coated in hot-dip galvanized (HDG), pre-galvanized, and zinc-magnesium alloy (ZM).
“The upgraded system greatly increases installation efficiency,” TrinaTracker said. “The introduction of shrink tube technology has effectively halved the time needed for tube connections.
Furthermore, the integration of a patented spherical bearing greatly enhances terrain adaptability, making it much easier to assemble the tracker and reducing the extra forces caused by misalignment.”
Other enhancements include an upgrade to Trina Smart Cloud, which improves operational and maintenance efficiency as well as system security. The product’s tracking algorithm, the SuperTrack Algorithm, has also been updated and improved.
“It has undergone significant advances, expanding its range of application settings while autonomously identifying, training and optimizing itself, resulting in a marked increase in energy production of up to 8%,” the company said.
“This additional energy yield is attributed to the combined effect of its two algorithms: STA, which boosts energy generation in overcast conditions, and SBA, specifically designed to reduce row-to-row shadows in uneven terrain.”
The tracking solution includes Trina’s Smart Controller. It consumes 0.04 kWh per day and has a tracking accuracy of less than one degree. It weighs less than 5 kg and can operate at temperatures ranging from -30°C to 60°C.
