[edit] Sunseeker "small" & "medium" / passive trackers

Image:Sss-001.JPG SolTec cc manufactures 2 standard sizes of passive trackers,

i.e.: small & medium, carrying an equivalent of 2, respectively 4 x 200W solar modules, depending on make and efficiency. Some solar modules, like amorphous or thin film products tend to have a much larger surface and would not fit in such an output size.

  • Our design & quality controlled manufacturing ensures a stable continuous polar axis movement.
  • Wind disturbances are braked with an adjusted shock absorber.
