PVH, a global leader in solar tracking solutions, offers its groundbreaking Microtilt feature for Horizontal single-axis solar trackers (HSAT). This innovative technology is designed to enhance energy yield, especially in challenging high-latitude regions and sites with significant slopes, all without additional costs.

The Innovation Behind Microtilt

Microtilt improves the efficiency of Single-Axis Trackers (SAT) by incorporating a slight tilt angle of 1º to 2º in the north-south direction. Unlike traditional Horizontal Single-Axis Trackers (HSAT), which maintain a strictly horizontal axis and rotate from east to west, the Microtilt feature allows modules to capture more solar radiation throughout the year. This advancement leads to higher annual energy production compared to conventional HSAT systems.

Leadership in Solar Technology

Miguel Angel Escribano, Head of Global Sales at PVH, emphasized the company’s commitment to innovation: “At PVH, we strive to lead in solar tracking technology with solutions like Microtilt. By anticipating market needs and listening to our clients, we deliver innovations that boost energy yield and reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). PVH is ready to meet the global solar market’s evolving demands, setting new standards in solar efficiency.”

Key Benefits of Microtilt Technology

1. Enhanced Energy Yield: The slight tilt provided by the Microtilt feature, combined with optimized module placement to minimize shadowing, significantly increases energy output. This can result in up to a 1% power gain in certain high-latitude areas.
2. Cost-Effective Solution: Microtilt achieves these performance gains with minimal cost increase, helping to lower the overall LCOE for solar projects.
3. Global Applicability: Particularly beneficial in high-latitude regions where traditional HSAT systems underperform, Microtilt’s adaptability makes it a globally relevant technology suitable for various climatic conditions.

Proven Superiority

Extensive studies and simulations conducted by PV Hardware demonstrate that HSAT systems equipped with Microtilt Trackers outperform standard HSAT systems trackers. The data shows clear advantages in energy yield, particularly for bifacial and monofacial systems in high-latitude regions.

By offering a cost-effective and globally applicable solution, PVH is redefining efficiency and performance standards in the solar industry. With innovations like Microtilt, we continue to lead the solar revolution, providing solutions that exceed market expectations and drive the future of solar energy.
