SunPower T20 Tracker Offers Maximum Energy Yield & Remote Access-

Today, SunPower Corporation introduced its newest generation of SunPower® T20 Solar Trackers at the Solar Power International 2009 conference. SunPower’s tracker is of the most effective and efficient on the market; featuring the corporation’s systematic 128-cell, 400-watt solar panels for maximum energy output. The ground-mounted solar seeker works on a single-axis that follows the sun throughout the day to offer peak performance and utmost reliability. It arrives pre-assembled for rapid and straightforward deployment, and is available in a variety of design selections to accommodate consumers’ specific requirements. T20 Tracker also provides more efficient wind resistance, less maintenance hassles and features fewer moving parts as well as a more refined mechanical structure than most other solar trackers available today. Every T20 Tracker produces up to 3.7 kilowatts of power and supplies up to 30 percent more energy than a fixed tilt system of the same capacity. “The superior design of the latest SunPower T20 Tracker evolves from our experience in deploying more than 200 megawatts of solar photovoltaic (PV) tracking systems worldwide… This tracker is at the core of SunPower’s advanced PV power plant technologies which deliver the lowest levelized cost of energy for utility power plants today,” stated Tom Werner, SunPower’s CEO. The contemporary tracker also headlines the original TMAC Advanced Tracker Controller (TMAC) offered by Sunpower, which is considered the most ground-breaking PV tracker control system accessible on the market. TMAC introduces real-time tracker status updates, remote monitoring and management, proprietary energy production maximization processes, and exceptional dependability even during fairly inhospitable day hours. To include, the advanced control system permits power plant operators to observe the status of the T20 Tracker wirelessly – in real-time – through the SunPower power plant SCADA control system; offering the ability to manage the array from a remote operations center. SunPower will begin development of power plant projects utilizing the novel T20 Tracker in early 2010.
