RayTracker GC Now Available from Energy Innovations

Energy Innovations, a manufacturer of commercial solar products to maximize usable energy from the sun, has announced the immediate availability of RayTracker GC, a single-axis, solar tracker for ground-mount and carport-mount applications to maximize the energy yields of a photovoltaic system.

Supporting a wide range of the leading, available PV panel types, RayTracker was developed with a focus on performance, reliability and installed cost. Along with its general availability on the market today, the solution is being deployed as part of installations totaling more than 2.6W of power.

RayTracker was initially designed to be cost-effective while at the same time maximizing efficiency. PV panels mounted on the RayTracker system crate a yield of up to 38 percent more than the annual energy production compared to stationary PV panels.

Using state-of-the-art systems, RayTracker ensures maximum energy production including proprietary tracker-to-tracker Shade Avoidance Technology, precision distributed actuation for increased tracking accuracy over the entire installation and low actuation energy budget. 

"Installing a tracking PV system vs. a fixed-position system allows customers to realize the greatest amount of energy production from their PV panels, thereby maximizing and speeding up a system's return on investment," said Mark Henderson, EVP of the RayTracker business unit at Energy Innovations, in a Thursday statement.

"RayTracker gives integrators, and the industry as a whole, an improved option for increasing the efficiency of the systems they're designing and installing."

"Over the past several months, my team and I have had the opportunity to work closely with Energy Innovations in the test and design trials for the RayTracker project," said Michael Kahn, president of Kahn Solar, a solar system integrator in Southern California, in Thursday’s statement.

"Our collaboration and their solicitation of my feedback has allowed me to provide the real-world insight and knowledge I've gained from my 32 years in the energy industry. The result is a product that I'm proud to present to my customers and I'm already including RayTracker in my proposals."

RayTracker is designed to deliver maximum reliability and easy deployment. As such, the system uses factory pre-assembled parts to reduce in-field installation time and labor, microprocessor and GPS-based controllers that require no adjustment or calibration, and offers a 25-year design life with documented component and system-level testing.

The solution has also been approved for up to 85mph/136kph wind zones and Seismic Zone 4, and is equipped with features that include a nighttime, 10-degree automatic stow for panel run-off, mechanism obstruction sensing and automatic recovery and automated stowing for maintenance. To provide added security, anti-theft panel security fastener kits are also available.

As energy becomes increasingly expensive, innovative approaches to capturing energy from the sun are proving to be sound investments. This latest from Energy Innovations is designed to appeal to those that desire reliability, efficiency and cost-effective solutions. By focusing on such elements in its design, Energy Innovations should be able to drive demand and adoption.
