In the photovoltaic solar industry, bearings are crucial components for creating solar trackers. These devices allow tracking of the sun’s position throughout the solar cycle, optimizing the capture of solar energy. Beyond enabling the torque tube to rotate and track the sun, bearings also serve to anchor the torque tube to the pile, which requires them to withstand high vertical, horizontal, and axial loads. Without bearings, a single-axis solar tracker would be nothing more than a fixed structure. A well-designed bearing ensures optimal tracking, minimizing energy loss due to friction. Moreover, it reduces assembly time and absorbs distortions that can occur when piles are driven into the ground. Challenges with Cylindrical Bearings The first bearing designs were cylindrical. During initial assembly and testing of trackers, issues related to alignment and assembly quickly became apparent. Even today, many trackers continue to use cylindrical bearings. However, after analyzing the installation and performance of trackers equipped with such bearings, Good Future’s R&D team identified areas for improvement. When cylindrical bearings were tested on sample trackers, specific problems with alignment and assembly emerged, caused by mechanical operations. Cylindrical bearings introduce alignment challenges, as they fail to compensate for the bending of the posts or...

The Tracker Controller Unit (TCU) is crucial to a solar tracker controller because it serves as the central intelligence that governs the system’s functionality and optimizes the performance of the solar panels. Here are the key reasons why the TCU is important: 1. Precise Solar Tracking The TCU ensures that solar panels are always aligned at the optimal angle to capture maximum sunlight. By using sensors and advanced algorithms, the TCU adjusts the panels’ position throughout the day to follow the sun’s movement, enhancing the efficiency of the solar power system. With precise tracking, the TCU can increase the energy output of a solar farm by 20-30% compared to fixed systems. 2. Real-time Monitoring and Control TCUs provide real-time data monitoring, which allows operators to track system performance, identify issues, and make adjustments remotely. This is particularly valuable in large solar installations, where manual supervision is impractical. The ability to monitor and control the system in real-time ensures that any malfunctions or inefficiencies are quickly addressed, maximizing energy production and reducing downtime. 3. Backtracking Capabilities During early morning and late afternoon, solar panels might cast shadows on one another, reducing efficiency. The TCU’s backtracking algorithmhelps the solar tracker adjust the tilt of the...
