Pioneers In Solar Tracking Technology
San Francisco CA (SPX) Jul 16, 2009 ADES continues to improve products and services to increase the efficiency of our customers' investments. Our new dual axis solar tracker design has been specially adapted to new markets with more efficient shipping, better land use (1 MW on 3.5 ha / 8.6 acres), a patented traction system "traction clamp", and an improved elliptical shape and lowered height to decrease shadowing.
Battery System: Autonomy Of The Tracker Vs. Disturbances Of The Electrical Grid In the new ADES solar tracker design, a battery system provides all the voltage and current necessary for all tracker movements, eliminating electrical failure of the tracker due to external factors. This system reduces the required electrical devices facing the AC systems, simplifying operations and maintenance steps, which implies a reduction of economic costs and the risk of electrical failure due to external factors. The system is designed to allow the trackers two days autonomy, providing independence of the grid, isolating possible disturbances (voltage drops, peaks etc.) and providing higher security of the installation to keep the trackers on alert even in case of network failure (storms, winds, severe weather conditions, etc.).

Feds to fund high-tech solar power studiesWashington (UPI) Jul 15, 2009 The U.S. Energy Department says it will provide as much as $52.5 million to research and develop solar power systems that can produce electricity day and night. The systems are concentrating solar power technologies that concentrate and capture the sun's energy as heat, which then drives an engine or turbine to produce electrical power. Officials said such plants can include low-cost ... read more |
