No other single component can increase solar performance as dramatically as solar tracking can (Green Tech Media). The advantages of solar trackers are well-established at lower latitudes, such as in the southern USA, where 94% of all new solar capacity uses trackers. Yet, fixed solar panels remain the standard across most of Europe because traditional trackers struggle to perform effectively above 40 degrees latitude.
Our Latitude40 design is specifically designed to adapt to the low angles of sunlight at European and northern US latitudes, boosting output by up to 30%. It moves in both axes – East to West and North to South – to maximise generation throughout the day and across the seasons.
The graphic – recording actual generation on a sunny day – shows that tracking extends generation by about an hour earlier and later each day; with the most significant gains occurring in the early morning and late afternoon.
This aligns more closely with peak demand, which is why independent analysis shows the Latitude40 benefits from up to 5% additional price benefit, on top of the volume gain.
It’s obvious why we believe our Latitude40 tracker, at Corrie Energy Partners, can create substantial new opportunities, filling the market gap for a robust, high latitude tracker.
Designed for longevity and low lifetime costs, our solar tracker reshapes the tracking market and can move the needle for your solar project.
