  • Technology

  • Higher efficiency with intelligent tracking.
    Even though photovoltaic modules' efficiency factor has been improved considerably over the last few years, the physical ceiling has essentially been reached. A genuine leap in a systems' efficiency can only be achieved by intelligent tracking. Only then can more energy be generated no matter which modules are used.

    Dual-axissystems for maximum efficiency.

    Precisely at the point where the most irradiation can be absorbed - that is where the dual-axis DEGERtrakers always align the photovoltaic modules and can thus achieve an up to 45 percent yield increase.

    Record holder for efficiency in single-axis systems.

    Single-axis tracking is usually sufficient, depending on the location and application. Here, too, the additional 31 percent yield is an excellent achievement - the DEGER TOPtraker(R) holds the world record for single-axis systems.

      • Most cost-effective module alignment

        The MLD or Maximum Light Detection principle is baed on the most accurate, fastest and most energy-saving tracking of the solar module toward the maximum energy point. That function is the responsibility of the patented control modle, the DEGERconecter. The control module continually measures intensity and angle of the incoming light and moves the solar module installation into the most advantageous position. The module not only takes the solar irradiation into account, but also, for example, light that is reflected off snow, water or light-colored rock, or diffuse solar irradiation that penetrates the coulds - and does so individually for each system.

        What is important here: only those movements that will result in a direct yield increase are carried out.
  • The Maximum Light Detection principle (MLD)

  • Tracking Systems for open land & building integration

  • Solar Tracking System for open land
    Many former landfills and brownfield sites are optimally suited for setting up solar parks. With its extensive TOPtraker® and DEGERtraker product range, DEGERenergie offers the best conditions for success.

    Active tracking systems for building integration
    The days are gone in which the roofs of industrial and public buildings were unused areas. TOPtraker® und DEGERtraker systems are optimally designed for integration in buildings.

  • Convincing arguments: lower cost, higher yield, faster amortization

  • With fixed systems a 25 percent higher investment is required to achieve the same benefit.

    Lower investment cost - the same yield results.

    Intelligently controlled solar energy tracking units pay off regardless of location, module performance level or price. The total amount invested to achieve a certain energy yield is always distinctly higher with fixed systems that with the DEGERtraker, no matter which DEGERtraker is used as calculation basis. They are between 20 and 30 percent more economical when you include the run-up cost, modules, inverters, sub-structures and foundations, system-related and running expenses.
    And: the more powerful the modules are, the more the tracking affects their yield in a positive way. In addition, DEGERtraker provides a considerably more balanced load profile and therefore a more constant feed and lower cost for inverters. That speeds up the "Return on Investment" and shortens the amortization period substantially.
