METATRACKER The hydraulic MetaTracker is one of the most well-designed and versatile solar tracking photovoltaic mounting options, and is supported in design and construction by a specialized engineering department in all applications, both in Greece and abroad. COMPLETELY AUTONOMOUS Each composite structural item of the installation (table) has its own power unit, and works independently from adjacent tables. Each table can reach up to 150m in length and 4,1m in width. The MetaTracker is completely self-powered as it is able to take the required energy either from the closest PV string...

EASY INSTALLATION FLEXIBILITY We have optimized every step of the procedure. There is no need for field work (drilling, cutting, welding, etc.), and no need for decisions during assembly, thus eliminating installation errors and the need for expert staff. The innovative Six-Axis Hinge can absorb up to 10cm of foundation pole misplacement in any direction, it also makes installation on areas with extreme slopes possible. MetaTracker can be installed on slopes of up to 15° in the North-South direction, and on unlimited slope in the EastWest direction. The tables are independent from one...

GEAR-LESS DRIVE SMARTSENSING The Tracker Controller continuously monitors the pressure on both ends of the hydraulic actuator. During normal operation, the pressure inside the cylinder usually does not exceed 1/4 or its rated load capacity. If the pressure increases above expected limits, the control will generate warnings and, if the pressure reaches 80% of the rated load capacity, the Tracker Controller will automatically drive the frame to the horizontal position. For example after a heavy 1.5m night snowfall, the center of gravity of the snow mass will be 0.75m above the rotation...

8 PV MODULE INSTALLATION CONFIGURATIONS INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT CLEANING MODE The PV cleaners can enable the Cleaning Mode for the lane(s) they want to clean. When cleaning mode is enabled the two tables of a lane assume a preset slope that is suitable for cleaning (e.g. maximum slope facing east, or maximum slope in the opposite direction, etc.). PASS-THROUGH MODE When maintenance vehicles or other heavy equipment need to pass through a lane, Pass-Through Mode instructs the two lane tracker tables to angle away from the lane to make passing-through easier. GENERAL DIMENSIONS

INVESTMENT OUTLOOK Boost Your Earnings The investment cost of a MetaTracker is around 10% higher than that of an equal capacity fixed PV installation, while the power production increase is between 15% - 25%. As a result, if an investor has a fixed size license with an attractive feed-in tariff, he can invest more money, while enjoying a better IRR and NPV on the investment. If an investor has fixed investment capital, production will be 5% to 15% higher, again pushing the IRR and the NPV of the investment higher. The MetaTracker’ s design is based on our accumulated design knowledge and...
