As per the firm, the product is designed specifically for the Latin American market, representing a significant advancement in solar tracking technology. "SkyLight, a 1P Linked Dual-row Solar Tracking System, is equipped with a single-point drive mechanism tailored for low wind speed regions, particularly within Latin America. This advanced system combines reliability, safety, stability, and cost-effectiveness. Its self-developed slew drives enable an operational angle of ±60° and tracking accuracy of ≤0.2°, ensuring consistent performance over its entire lifecycle. The innovative design also reduces the number of components compared to traditional trackers, cutting production costs significantly," said the firm in its note.
Some of the key features of SkyLight include new split-design polymer bearings that eliminate pipe threading and calibration, reducing installation time by 30 percent and slashing installation and maintenance costs by 10 percent. The use of high polymer material for connectors, which fit precisely into the torque tube, further reduces installation costs by 30 percent. Additionally, SkyLight’s unique square torque tube with rounded corners enhances its bending and torsional capacity while minimizing steel use.
The firm said in its note that it functions as a terrain-following solar tracker and reduces cut and fill earthworks by approximately 50 percent, minimising construction costs and ecological disruption. It adapts seamlessly to terrains with up to a 20 percent N-S slope and provides fault tolerance of up to 15 percent for adjacent row foundations, improving land utilization rates and installation capacity across various scenarios.
SkyLight is powered by Arctech's third-generation AI intelligent algorithm, which boosts power generation gain by up to 8 percent, maximising energy output and lowering the Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE).
The firm further disclosed that following its launch, it has secured new orders for SkyLight at Intersolar South America 2024. This includes a 468 MW project in Bahia, Brazil, a DG Package II initiative with a capacity of 160 MW in Brazil's Northeast region, and the 236 MW SkyLine II project in Mendoza, Argentina.
Arctech's President, Cai Hao, emphasised the importance of this new product, stating, "The launch of SkyLight marks a pivotal moment for our company and the solar industry. We are proud to introduce a product that not only meets but exceeds the demands of modern solar projects, offering unparalleled efficiency, reliability, and sustainability."
