Actuator Solutions for Solar Tracker Movement
A solar tracking system is a device for orienting a solar panel, or concentrating a solar reflector or lens, towards the sun. To keep up with other green energies, the solar cell market has to be as efficient as possible, and there are two main ways to make the solar cells more efficient, one is […]
Hydraulic Devices Help Solar Collectors Track Sun
Hydraulic actuator devices rotate and tilt solar collector assemblies as they track the sun’s motion each day through the desert sky from the new Nevada Solar One power plant–a 64 MW solar energy field spanning more than 300 acres. The actuators also control minor adjustments to the position of the arrays to compensate for the […]
