Why Solar ?

As we all know Electricity plays a key role in our daily lives but the non renewable energy sources to produce electric power has been used in abundance and so researchers were compelled to find an alternate sources of power leading to the discovery of solar energy

Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaic, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt power plants and artificial photosynthesis. . It is an important source of renewable energy and it can be captured and converted into electricity using photovoltaic panels.

Why Supaasi Auto Tracking?

Though there are so many solar energy systems in the market but its mobile technology to track the SUN right from its rise in the east till fall in the west make it unique since it produces 60% more solar power as compared to conventional static solar systems. It starts producing solar energy as soon as Sun rises and follow the movement of Sun through its Sun facing solar panels throughout the day as a result of which it produces more energy.

Above Fig. Simulation Result for Comparison of Fixed Mount and Supaasi Auto Tracker System .The efficiency of the Supaasi autotracking system over that of the static panel is calculated to be 91.68%.

Strengths of rail track
  • Supaasi track system made by heavy galvanized structure.
  • Supaasi track system has only two moving parts – auto moving device and bearings – and both have been proven reliable through extensive accelerated testing.
  • When compared with other components in your solar electric system, these simple components are extremely long-lived.

This is the most futuristic Auto Tracking Solar System ever made since functioning of this system is very unique and innovative. It tracks the sun continuously from morning to evening to give consistent energy throughout the day moreover its energy output is approx. 60% higher than the contemporary solar power systems.

  • Rail tracking systems support the weight of each panel, so that they can withstand high wind pressure. This rail tracking systems can sustain wind pressure up to 130 KMPH.
  • Rail tracking systems spread the weight of the panels over the area of the array, so the load is not concentrated on one spot.
  • Rail tracking system has only two moving parts – actuators that move the array and bearings that allow each panel to rock in each axis. Fewer moving parts mean less maintenance cost.
  • Rail tracking system is mounted on concrete foundation with high tensile fasteners on each anchors bolts for better grip.
  • Rail trackers are scalable: Frame which holds panels can be coupled, so automation which moves the panels in both directions (east/west and north/south) can be shared among the frames. The result is lower cost per panel.
Quality Check

Auto moving device: Supaasi rail track system use Auto moving device proven for many years in rugged, outdoor applications, such as tracking equipment. To evaluate their reliability for use in tracking systems, Analyzed test data which showed expected life of more than 50 years. The auto moving device used in rail Track system were also subjected to a variety of environmental and electrical tests, under conditions summarized in this chart:

   

  Temperature

  -40 C to +90C

  Heat and humidity

  93% to 98%, -40 C to +55 C

  Water ingression

  Per IPX6

  Dust

  Per IP6X

  Vibration

  5 Hz to 200 Hz
