- German solar tracker supplier Ideematec has announced it will supply its products for a series of agrivoltaic projects under construction by Spanish renewable energy developer Amda Energรญa.ย
- The new tracker is claimed to be able to operate synergistically with the agricultural equipment.
โThe tracker has a modified shape and a new navigation and control software,โ a company spokesperson told pv magazine.
The tracking system was modified by adjusting the axis heights and maximizing the rotation angle for the module to plus or minus 70 degrees, which allows the devices to operate synergistically with the agricultural equipment used. Furthermore, the manufacturer designed a specific control and agronomic-orientated monitoring system to improve crop production, land quality and address the specific needs of each project.
โOur two-in-portrait (2P) module wings, equipped with bifacial modules, allow us to space module rows to support efficient agricultural operationsโsuch as moving large vehiclesโbetween module rows or monitoring sites for agricultural variables to increase generation efficiency,โ said Ideematec CEO Mario Eckl.
The trackers will be used for a 100 MW portfolio comprising multiple 5 MW agrivoltaic projects that will be built at unspecified locations in France.
