PV Hardware, a company specializing in solar tracking solutions, has introduced the innovative Micro-Tilt feature for its single-axis solar trackers. This technology is designed to enhance energy production, particularly in high-latitude regions and sites with north or south slopes in both hemispheres, bolstering solar energy projects without incurring additional costs.

Micro-Tilt improves the efficiency of single-axis trackers (SAT) by incorporating a slight tilt angle, ranging from 1 to 2 degrees in the north-south direction. Unlike traditional devices that maintain a horizontal axis between the north and south, this technology allows solar panels to capture more solar radiation throughout the year, increasing annual energy output compared to conventional horizontal tracking systems.

Alvaro Casado Portondo, PV Hardware’s Chief Revenue Officer, stated, “We are committed to leading innovation in solar tracking technology. Solutions like Micro-Tilt reflect our market superiority. By anticipating market requirements and understanding our customers’ needs, we offer solutions that significantly enhance energy production and reduce the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). PVH is ready to meet the evolving demands of the solar energy market.”

Extensive studies and simulations conducted by PVH have demonstrated the superior performance of HSAT systems with Micro-Tilt compared to standard systems. This highlights a clear advantage in energy production, especially for bifacial and monofacial systems in high-latitude areas.
