Wattsun Active Solar Trackers from Susitna Energy Systems

Susitna Energy Systems provides Wattsun solar trackers. These trackers, also known as active trackers, function by following the path of the sun from east to west. It tracks the sun’s path with the aid of electronic sensors and actuator drives. The Wattsun solar tracker ensures that it captures the maximum amount of sunlight even during partly cloudy conditions by appropriately positioning itself to the brightest area of the sky. This tracker from Susitna Energy Systems starts tracking the sunlight immediately after the sun rises in the morning.

The operation of the Wattsun active solar tracker also maximizes the amount of power generated by the solar array from approximately 10 percent to about 50 percent. This is dependant on climatic conditions. This solar tracker from Susitna Energy Systems is ideal for hot summer conditions, when there is a higher power requirement for water pumping applications. With the use of the Wattsun active solar tracker, it becomes possible to pump a higher volume of water.

The solar tracker from Susitna Energy Systems also provides a cost effective alternative for utility grid-tie systems, which are net metered. The Wattsun tracker operates by rotating the PV array around the pipe, thereby tracking the path of the sun. It has the capability to rotate to a maximum angle of approximately 270 degrees, while the elevation tilting angle of the solar tracker can be adjusted from 5 degrees to 75 degrees.
