4. Why to track sun
Energy produced by solar energy system is directly proportional to the incident radiation falling on the modules
Sunlight’s "direct beam" carries about 90% of the solar energy
Trackers have accuracies of ± 5° can deliver greater than 99.6% of the energy delivered by the direct beam plus 100% of the diffuse light (indirect light).
Module efficiency is 14% to 18%, which means only 14-18% of incident light is convertible to useful energy
Tracking helps to compensate for the variation in solar radiation due to rotation

5. Tracking Ideology
Tracking increases power generation by 15%- 25% over fixed tilt per DC Watt peak.
Initial capex increase will be 8% to 10% of project cost per DC Watt peak.
For generation equal to fixed tilt per Watt peak tracking reduces capex by 6% to 8%.

6. Points to remember while selecting Tracker
Tracker parts should be easily available off the shelves.
Trackers should be tested for high wind and high snow zones.
Tracker should be compatible with irregular & challenging sites.
Tracker helps in higher unit generation

7. Solar Tracker Solution
Innovative tracker system helping in maximizing energy production by providing % additional power
Centralized drive capitalizes on proven hydraulic technology and simplifies the mechanics and maintenance of single axis trackers

8. Why to choose GIPL tracker
GIPL tracker has centralized drive capitalizes on proven hydraulic technology which simplifies the mechanics and maintenance of single axis tracker.
Centralized drive means fewer components, therefore less points of failure
Utilizing standard hydraulic technology worldwide
Adaptable design over a range of environmental conditions
Utilize Industrial grade components to design the system
Integrated grounding per immediate layout.
ETL listed to the UL2703 standard

9. Tracker savings For Example: To generate 20MW of energy
Fixed tilt Capex is = 96.8 Cr Rs Cr.)
Single Axis tracker you just need to install only capex of Cr. Rs Cr.)
Shows Capex is reduced by 6.16 Cr. (6.05 %)
O&M for a 20 MW plant can be done @ Rs. 50,000 /MW/Year including spares and consumables.
Revenue increase per MW for this site would be 3.2 Lacs Rs which works out to Rs Lacs/anum.
O&M cost is just 3.1 % of the extra revenue generated.
