Problem
Traditional solar trackers are designed for flat, uniform land, limiting deployment in areas with uneven terrain or space constraints. Grading land for conventional trackers is expensive and environmentally disruptive, while inefficient land use reduces potential energy output.
Solution
SolarGik provides smart photovoltaic (PV) trackers designed for challenging terrains, including slopes up to 30%, without requiring extensive grading. Their single-axis trackers utilize a modular design with shorter table lengths (6-24 panels) to maximize land utilization and adapt to irregular site geometries. The company's SCADA system, SOMA, integrates real-time data inputs such as weather conditions and shading patterns to optimize tracking angles and energy production. This approach reduces capital and operational expenditures while increasing power density and enabling dual-use applications like Agri-PV and rooftop installations.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes solar project developers, EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) companies, and agricultural businesses seeking to maximize energy production on challenging terrains or implement dual-use solar solutions.
