Soltec unveils new SF7 solar tracker designed for the US 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, 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 improved for U.S. customers, as Soltec has explored every possible way to streamline on-site installation processes, reduce the number of piles and other parts and pieces, and streamline the design to achieve a lower cost and faster installation than the competition.

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

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

The tracker features an innovative electronic system with wireless communication designed to withstand low temperatures. In addition, through advanced algorithms, it ensures maximum energy production at every 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 based on 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 assured, preventing plant damage during strong storm events.

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

For Colin Caufield, VP of Sales for North America, “this innovative solar tracker, designed specifically for the United States, represents an improvement in energy production efficiency by simplifying the installation process and reducing and optimizing maintenance costs. Like the SFOne USA launch, it can be manufactured locally, reflecting our strong commitment to sustainability and support for U.S. socioeconomic development. It’s a strategic market for us, and we want to be more than a technology provider, 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 SF7 means not only high-performance solar energy production benefits, but also cost savings through simplified installation with outstanding terrain adaptability.
