Tracker technology increases PV efficacy

The Genius Tracker from solar energy equipment supplier GameChange Solar can increase a solar photovoltaic (PV) installation’s harnessing efficacy by up to 25% as opposed to a static tracking system. The single axis tracker can be installed on slopes of about 7%, “but it could be designed to accommodate a slope of up to 15% if requested to do so by the client”, adds GameChange Solar Southern Africa regional director Russ Bowden.
