Description
Description | Portuguese tracker manufacturer AlphaTracker has developed and patented an autonomous hydraulic mechanism that blocks solar trackers' movement during strong wind gusts or high-amplitude vibrations, preventing axis displacement and mitigating aeroelastic instability. The system automatically unlocks after adverse weather without requiring electricity or electronic components. It enables integration of up to 60% more PV modules per tracker, reduces supply costs by 20%, and cuts electronic and mechanical components by 40%. |
