Soltec unveils its new SF7 solar tracker designed for the American market

• This launch redefines solar trackers with its great versatility, terrain adaptability and faster, more efficient installation
• With this launch, the company reaffirms its commitment to innovation and excellence in the solar energy sector

Soltec, a vertically integrated company dedicated to photovoltaic projects with solar trackers, announces the launch of its new SF7 USA solar tracker, specially designed for the American market. The SF7, already known for its versatility, terrain adaptability and ease of installation, has been further enhanced for US customers, as Soltec examined every possible aspect to reduce on-site installation processes, cut the number of piles and other parts, and simplify the design to achieve lower costs and faster installation than the competition.

The SF7 solar tracker sets new standards of efficiency and simplicity in deploying photovoltaic energy systems. It stands out for its unique ability to adapt to diverse terrain, making it the best choice for projects in areas with irregular slopes and space constraints. With mounting tolerances ranging from 20 to 40 inches, this solar tracker can be customized to fit difficult spaces and can be installed on slopes of up to 17%.

Soltec’s terrain adaptability, combined with simple installation, removes most of the need for on-site cut-and-fill work to install the trackers, a major cost factor in photovoltaic plants. Since Soltec pre-assembles most components, product installation involves only a few steps, and locating the parts needed at each stage is quick and foolproof. All this translates into substantial savings in both time and financial resources.

The tracker features an innovative electronic system incorporating wireless communication designed to withstand low temperatures. In addition, through advanced algorithms, it ensures maximum energy production at each solar installation via the TeamTrack system, which delivers up to 6.8% more performance, a feature that minimizes row-to-row shading losses, especially on irregular terrain. Efficiency is further ensured through bifacial tracking, optimizing its position considering both sides of the module.

The new solar tracker also incorporates Diffuse Booster technology, which maximizes production and enables optimal energy generation even on cloudy days by capturing diffuse radiation. In addition, with the Dy-WIND methodology, the solar tracker’s response to wind is ensured, preventing damage to the plant during severe weather events.

Regarding protection against adverse weather phenomena, the tracker includes an algorithm designed by Soltec for hail defense. This innovative algorithm, aimed at better protecting the solar modules, ensures a fast response to any such risk, reinforcing the installation’s resilience without compromising its efficiency.

For Colin Caufield, VP of Sales for North America, “this innovative solar tracker, designed specifically for the United States, represents an efficiency improvement in energy production by simplifying the installation process and reducing and optimizing maintenance costs. As with the launch of the SFOne USA, it can be locally manufactured, reflecting our firm commitment to sustainability and support for American socioeconomic development. It’s a strategic market for us, and we want to be more than just a technology supplier, positioning ourselves as agents of change toward an energy-independent United States,” he added.

With this launch, Soltec reaffirms its commitment to innovation and excellence in the solar energy industry, taking a step forward toward a sustainable, efficient future. Choosing the SF7 delivers not only high-performance solar energy production benefits, but also cost savings through simplified installation with extraordinary terrain adaptability.
