Smart-Slope Universal Joint Mechanism for Solar Trackers
One of 3,815 projects Taiyo tracks in Portugal.
Source: Megaproject
AlphaTracker developed Smart-Slope, a universal joint-style mechanism that transmits motion along the tracker axis even when sections are not perfectly aligned. This allows a single tracker unit to operate continuously where two units were previously required, simplifying installation, reducing maintenance costs and failure probability by 50%, and increasing overall plant availability. It can be i

Description | AlphaTracker developed Smart-Slope, a universal joint-style mechanism that transmits motion along the tracker axis even when sections are not perfectly aligned. This allows a single tracker unit to operate continuously where two units were previously required, simplifying installation, reducing maintenance costs and failure probability by 50%, and increasing overall plant availability. It can be installed at any point along the tracker without additional machining. |
