DESERT READY!
A NEW VERSION OF SOLTIGUA’S SOLAR TRACKER WL OPTIMIZED FOR DESERT ENVIRONMENT.

In the MENA region, abundant solar radiation goes hand in hand with the difficulties of operating in desert areas: sand abrasion, heat and high cost of specialized on-site service make it challenging to adopt PV trackers for solar farms, even if solar trackers can increase energy production by more than 20%.

Soltigua’s iTracker WL tackles all these challenges by combining several innovative features to make the extra yield of sun trackers available also to solar plants in desert areas:

  • Mechanical components are tested for an equivalent 55+ years lifetime in harsh desert conditions including 50% of time under heavy sand storms;
  • Linear actuators have IP 66 resistance against dust and humidity;
  • Soltigua’s solar tracker can resist ambient temperatures up to 50°C and above;
  • Easy and faster cleaning is made possible by iTracker WL’s continuous tables and by the possibility to make contiguous rows face each other and to use robot-based cleaning;
  • Remote control of the plant gives you the full benefit of Soltigua’s expertise available on site 24/7.

“iTracker WL unlocks the potential of solar plants in the desert – says Vittorio Orioli, Soltigua’s Chief Technical Officer – where land is available and blessed with solar radiation.”

Soltigua’s innovative solar tracking system can provide a hassle-free increase of 20%+ of the annual production of solar farms in desert areas.
