Soltec has introduced Flotus, a floating solar tracker designed for utility plants located in reservoirs, irrigation ponds and other inland bodies of water. This launch in solar energy, bringing innovations that optimize energy efficiency.
Flotus, the floating solar tracker
This east-west tracking system and its advanced naval design, which resembles terrestrial horizontal solar trackers. This innovation allows optimal tracking of the sun during the day, resulting in increased energy production.
The unique solar tracker prototype can increase solar energy production by 15% to 25%. This increase is achieved mainly during the first and last hours of the day, when sunlight is less intense. All this, thanks to the maximization of energy efficiency, making the Flotus a highly efficient option for renewable energy generation.
This new solar tracker is equipped with a central floodable tank and two longitudinal floats, the system offers greater stability and robustness. Even in adverse conditions, with winds exceeding 100 km/h, it maintains its performance, guaranteeing continuous operation.
Flotus technology includes the ability to use bifacial panels and take advantage of the cooling effect of water. This not only exceeds the output of terrestrial solar terrestrial solar trackers, but also minimizes but also minimizes module shading, further increasing efficiency.
The new solar tracker represents the future of floating solar power, optimizing existing infrastructures and taking innovation to new heights. This solution from Soltec sets a new standard in the field of floating solar trackers, combining efficiency, stability and technology.
