Arctech, a global leader in solar tracking and racking systems, has successfully signed a significant agreement for providing 45MW SkySmart II Solar Tracker system for a project in Italy. The project marks another milestone in Arctech’s commitment to renewable energy development and its dedication to supporting sustainable initiatives on a global scale.
The SkySmart II Solar Tracker project, a cutting-edge solar energy installation, is set to revolutionize the renewable energy landscape in Italy. Leveraging advanced technology and innovative engineering, the project will deliver an impressive capacity of 45MW, contributing significantly to the country’s renewable energy targets and reducing carbon emissions.
Italy, a front-runner in renewable energy adoption, recently achieved a significant milestone by hitting the 25 GW mark in total installed solar capacity. In 2022 alone, Italy deployed 2.48 GW of new PV systems, highlighting the country’s strong commitment to expanding its solar energy infrastructure. The 45MW solar project with SkySmart II system, will further contribute to Italy’s impressive renewable energy portfolio.
The SkySmart II Solar Tracker is a state-of-the-art solar energy system that utilizes advanced tracking technology to optimize energy generation. The solar trackers automatically adjust the position of the solar panels throughout the day, maximizing their exposure to sunlight and significantly increasing overall energy efficiency. This innovative design ensures that the project can generate electricity at its maximum capacity, even during suboptimal weather conditions.
Arctech’s SkySmart II incorporates a proprietary multi-point parallel drive technology, delivering exceptional performance in various aspects. Compared to other 2P tracking systems, it boasts a remarkable 200% increase in wind resistance, ensuring its stability even under challenging weather conditions. Additionally, the SkySmart II requires 52% fewer foundations than traditional 1P tracking systems, optimizing installation efficiency and reducing costs.
One of the key features of the SkySmart II is its compatibility with a wide range of solar modules. Equipped with 4X1,500V-strings of solar modules, this advanced system not only reduces electrical costs but also supports seamless integration with commercially available solar modules, including the larger 182/210 modules.
Furthermore, the SkySmart II leverages artificial intelligence and advanced tracking control strategies. By utilizing real-time meteorological data, the system’s cloud strategy adapts to changing weather conditions. Its bifacial power generation strategy maximizes energy generation by harnessing both direct and reflected sunlight. Additionally, the closed-loop feedback strategy, which shares parameters with the DC combiner and string inverter, ensures optimal performance across diverse terrains, weather conditions, and land conditions. These intelligent features enable the SkySmart II to achieve an impressive up to 7% increase in energy generation compared to conventional systems.
Arctech’s SkySmart II sets a new standard in solar tracking technology, offering enhanced performance, adaptability, and energy generation capabilities for a sustainable future.Until the end of 2022, SkySmart II has accumulated over a 4GW portfolio in more than 40 countries around the world.
Arctech has partnered with leading solar energy technology providers to ensure the successful implementation of the SkySmart II Solar Tracker project. The company’s extensive expertise in solar tracking and its dedication to renewable energy investment have played a crucial role in bringing this project to fruition.
Arctech remains committed to driving the transition towards a low-carbon economy globally. Through innovative solar tracking and racking solutions like the SkySmart II Solar Tracker, the company aims to facilitate the adoption of clean energy solutions and contribute to a more sustainable future.
