With the increasing demands of solar tracker application, vibration control has become crucial in solar tracking field. Precise and efficient damping systems are key to enhancing performance and extending solar tracking system life. The GF damper, an advanced dual-cylinder damper, surpasses traditional single-cylinder dampers in terms of performance and, with its innovative design and superior quality, has become the ideal choice for global users. The GF damper adopts a dual-cylinder design, utilizing the smooth flow of fluid between two cylinders to achieve highly linear and precise damping control. When in operation, the fluid flows between the two cylinders through precisely regulated valves or orifices, allowing for a rapid response to external vibrations and shocks. The dual-cylinder design provides stable damping throughout each stage of piston movement, ensuring balanced damping force in both high and low-load environments. This not only effectively absorbs vibrations but also allows the damper to respond sensitively to changes in the external environment, providing comprehensive vibration protection for equipment. During operation, the dual-cylinder structure, with its larger fluid flow path, reduces the pressure difference during piston movement, allowing the GF damper to maintain high stability even under high-speed motion.

The TCU (Tracking Control Unit) is crucial for horizontal single-axis solar trackers for several reasons: 1. Enhancing power generation efficiency: The efficiency of solar panels is directly related to their angle toward the sun. The Good Future TCU (Tracking Control Unit) precisely controls the rotation of the tracker, ensuring that the solar panels always face the sun, improving the efficiency of energy capture. This continuous dynamic adjustment maximizes daily power generation, especially under changing sunlight conditions. 2. Implementing advanced algorithms: Good Future TCUs (Tracking Control Unit) is crucial for single-axis horizontal solar tracker are often equipped with advanced tracking algorithms, such as the backtracking algorithm, which adjusts the panel angles when the sun is at a low angle, preventing panels from shading each other and reducing shading losses. This optimization is especially important in large-scale photovoltaic plants as it significantly increases the system’s overall power generation capacity. 3. Real-time monitoring and protection: Good Future TCUs (Tracking Control Unit) have real-time monitoring capabilities, continuously overseeing the operation of the tracker and taking swift action when faults are detected, such as adjusting the panel position or stopping operation to prevent damage. They also provide data feedback, allowing operators to perform remote monitoring and maintenance, thereby...
In the quest for maximizing solar energy efficiency, the synergy between solar tracking systems and controllers is a game-changer. As the solar industry evolves, integrating advanced controllers with tracking systems becomes increasingly crucial for optimizing energy output. Here’s why this combination is a key factor in enhancing solar power generation. Precision Tracking for Optimal Sun Exposure Solar tracking systems equipped with cutting-edge controllers ensure that photovoltaic panels consistently face the sun, adjusting their position throughout the day. This precision tracking allows panels to capture the maximum amount of sunlight, significantly increasing energy production compared to fixed-tilt systems. By optimizing the angle of incidence, trackers can boost energy yields by up to 25% or more. Intelligent Control for Adaptive Performance Modern solar controllers incorporate intelligent algorithms that adapt to changing environmental conditions. They monitor real-time data such as sunlight intensity, weather conditions, and system performance to make precise adjustments. This dynamic adaptability ensures that the tracking system operates efficiently under varying conditions, enhancing overall performance and reliability. Enhanced System Longevity and Reliability Advanced controllers not only optimize energy capture but also contribute to the longevity and reliability of the solar tracking system. By managing the mechanical components of the tracker and...
In the world of photovoltaic (PV) tracking systems, the choice of bearings is crucial for optimizing performance and ensuring durability. While plastic bearings have been commonly used due to their cost-effectiveness and lightweight nature, aluminum shell bearings are increasingly being favored. Here’s why aluminum shell bearings often provide superior performance compared to their plastic counterparts. Durability and Strength One of the most significant advantages of aluminum shell bearings is their enhanced durability and strength. Aluminum is a robust material that can withstand heavy loads and high stress, making it ideal for the demanding conditions of PV tracking systems. In contrast, plastic bearings may degrade under prolonged exposure to environmental stresses and mechanical loads, leading to premature failure and reduced system reliability. Temperature Resistance Aluminum shell bearings offer superior temperature resistance compared to plastic bearings. Solar tracking systems are exposed to a wide range of temperatures, from scorching heat to freezing cold. Aluminum maintains its structural integrity and performance across these temperature variations, while plastic bearings can become brittle or soften, affecting their functionality and lifespan. Load Capacity The load capacity of aluminum shell bearings is generally higher than that of plastic bearings. This is particularly important in PV tracking systems,...
In solar tracking systems, the choice of bearings for solar trackers is crucial. It not only affects the overall stability and lifespan of the system but also influences maintenance costs and operational efficiency. Common bearing materials in the market include metal and plastic. In this article, we will explore why you should opt for metal bearings with aluminum alloy housing and POM material sliding blocks rather than all-POM plastic bearings. Higher Strength and Rigidity Aluminum housing bearings, offer significantly higher strength and rigidity. This enables them to provide more reliable support in solar tracking systems under constantly changing loads, reducing the risk of deformation and damage. In contrast, all-POM plastic bearings can easily deform under high-stress environments, affecting system accuracy and stability. Superior Wear Resistance and Longevity POM sliding blocks are renowned for their excellent wear resistance, but this advantage is further enhanced when paired with metal housing. The metal housing provides a more robust outer protection, allowing the sliding block to maintain optimal performance under harsher conditions for a longer period. All-POM bearings may experience accelerated wear over time, leading to frequent replacements and maintenance. Better Heat Resistance The heat resistance of aluminum alloy far surpasses that of...
According to a recent article by PVTECH. North America is expected to be the major global market for solar trackers in the upcoming years. In contrast, over 750GW of trackers will be installed globally between 2024 and 2030, according to a recent report published by S&P Global. In the Solar Tracker Market Report 2024, S&P Global said about 60GW of trackers were installed globally in 2023 and over 80GW are expected in 2024. In 2027, more than 100GW of trackers will be installed worldwide, most coming from North America and the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) markets. Overall, 752GW of trackers will be installed between 2024 and 2030. Of this capacity, 39% will be from North America, followed by EMEA (31%), the Asia-Pacific region (22%) and South America (8%). The North American market is expected to grow to 50GW annual additions by 2030, with most installations in the US. By 2026, installations in the US are forecast to increase to over 40 GW. Although the Mexican utility-scale solar PV market has decreased from its historical highs during 2018-2020, its tracker market is expected to grow and exceed 1GW per year from 2028 onwards. In the EMEA market, tracker installations in Spain are forecast to fall steadily starting...
