PV Solar Tracker – 1-Axis for Open-Field Installations
Robust single-axis solar tracker for ground-mounted systems that automatically tracks the sun
, significantly increasing daily and winter yields—ideal for agriculture, commercial use, and
self-consumption systems.
- Automatic 1-Axis Tracking
- Up to about 20–30 % more PV output
- Perfect for winter & low sun
- Sturdy steel construction for outdoor use
- Project-Specific Implementation for Maximum Efficiency
Fully automatic & low-maintenance
The control system is based on GPS and astronomical sun position calculations. The tracker operates fully automatically
and is designed for low-maintenance, continuous operation.
The swivel bearings are made of UHMW-PE, a material with very high wear resistance and resistance to aging; they are self-lubricating and maintenance-free for 25 years.
No professional maintenance staff is required; if the equipment malfunctions, replacement parts can be installed on-site in no time.
The drive options we offer feature an IP65 rating for electronic components and dual-layer protection for core components, making them suitable for use in desert and water-based projects.
The structure is made of hot-dip galvanized steel, which offers high strength and good corrosion resistance, and can be installed in coastal areas.
Why Choose a PV Solar Tracker?
Fixed PV modules only deliver optimal performance at certain times of the day. A solar tracker
automatically aligns your modules with the sun’s position, ensuring a consistently high yield throughout the
entire day—and significantly better results in the winter.
- More energy from the same area—ideal when open space is limited
- Significantly higher yields in the morning, evening, and during the winter
- Particularly interesting for self-consumption, energy storage, and off-grid systems
- Reduces the reliance on a perfect south-facing orientation
- Our prices for the AGRITrackerOne are lower than those for a fixed installation!
Comparison: Solar Trackers vs. Fixed-Mounted PV Modules
| Feature | Fixed-mount PV modules | 1-axis PV solar tracker |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Yield | Peak around noon | Consistently high yield throughout the day |
| Winter yield | Significantly reduced | Optimized orientation → better winter yield |
| Space Efficiency | More area required | Up to approximately 20–30 % higher yield on the same area |
| Mechanics | No moving parts | Moving parts, but significantly higher yield |
| Investment Costs | Lower | Higher, but cost-effective due to increased yield |
Technical Design (Project-Specific)
The technical design of this solar tracker is project-specific and is customized to the location,
module area, wind load zone, foundation, and operating environment. Therefore, there are no fixed
technical specifications—the configuration is tailored to the customer’s requirements.
- Module area and number of modules: project-dependent
- Wind Loads and Foundation Design: Dependent on Location and Soil Class
- Drive and Control: Depending on Project Requirements
- Mechanical Engineering and Steel Construction: Designed According to Structural Specifications
