Are DEGERtraker systems also suitable for use with concentrators/solar thermal systems?

The new CT modules are specially suited for concentrator applications. These Trakers were developed especially for applications using CPV.

Solar heating applications have been installed in isolated cases on DEGERtrakers. But there is no standard solution for this and these are implemented on a project-specific basis using our technology.

How much power can I generate using a DEGERtraker?

Power generation depends on a number of factors:

- the capacity of the system

- efficiency of the modules

- installation location and irradiation intensity

- etc.

Here's an exemplary calculatin for the single-axis model TOPtraker 8.5:

TOPtraker with 6 solar panels of 200Wp (1.2 kWp) each.
The basis is a specific average yield in Germany for fixed systems of about 1000 kWh/kWp. Using a TOPtraker you can obtain an additional yield of 20-30%, if you maintain the required spacing between the individual systems, in order to prevent the units form shading each other; in other words, in this example, you can achieve a calculated maximum yield of 1200-1300 kWh/kWp.

What special approval procedures are required for open area systems?

If you want to develop an agricultural terrain with tracking systems, you must submit a so-called project development plan (Vorhabenbezoner Bebauungsplan).. Because this building law is a state matter, there are naturally regional differences, and the sometimes expensive process can drag on for months. Unfortunately we cannot offer detailed information and recommend that you obtain local information.
