Gonvarri Solar Steel proudly presents the TracSmarT+2V Compact, an advanced solar tracker solution designed to set new standards of safety, reliability, and efficiency in the photovoltaic sector. This innovative 2P tracker significantly enhances structural stability and performance under adverse conditions, offering key improvements that meet the most demanding industry requirements.

A standout feature of the TracSmarT+2V Compact is its increased dynamic stability against wind events, with a new 55º protection position that ensures system stability even on variable terrain slopes.

Combined with double the natural frequency compared to traditional 2P trackers, it offers robust protection against wind gusts. The design has also been optimized to mitigate the effects of geometric non-linearity through its cable size, high rigidity, and low torsional deformation, further enhancing system reliability.

With its compact size, it is the smallest in its class, reducing wind loads on the structure and minimizing foundation requirements and associated structural risks. In addition, the TracSmarT+2V Compact offers an unprecedented advantage: the same protection position for wind, snow, and hail, ensuring structural integrity during combined adverse weather events.

Faster and Simpler Assembly

The simplicity of assembling the TracSmarT+2V Compact is another key advantage. Solar Steel has reduced the number of components needed by incorporating pre-assembled parts such as the rotating heads and secondary systems, along with a single-point drive system that eliminates the need for additional transmission systems. The system also removes damping systems and tube connections, further accelerating the tracker deployment.

The alignment process has been simplified to just three key piles, reducing both time and operational costs. The industrialized table mounting option allows the entire aerial section (tubes, secondary parts, and modules) to be assembled, improving safety and efficiency in the field.

LCOE Optimization and Reduction of Civil Works

The TracSmarT+2V Compact positively impacts project profitability. Its compact design allows for higher power density in irregular distributions, enabling up to 5% more installed capacity in the same space. Additionally, its flexibility to adapt to sloped or naturally irregular terrains helps reduce earthworks by up to 30%, leading to lower civil engineering costs.

With these innovations, Solar Steel reinforces its commitment to the photovoltaic sector by offering a solution that improves the project’s LCOE, accelerates and ensures assembly, and promises to transform the industry with its unique combination of reliable innovation.
