The horizontal tracking system is produced from modular aluminum extrusions with an anodized conservation. Cast aluminum parts make the installation an easy and cost-effective job because no special tools / drilling are needed and it can be installed with low skilled people.
The tracker turns 3 landscape mounted solar panels on top of each other – a standard table consists of 3 x 25 solar panels being controlled by one solar tracking device.
Depending on the latitude of the location this type of tracking system can increase power output by about 30% compared to ground-mounted fixed structure systems.
The design of a modular, low height structure results in simple assembly that does not require cranes or lifting equipment, which saves time in the installation of the solar PV system. No welding or drilling is required at location: all the parts can be assembled using fastening devices, reducing costs and assembly times.
The parts are assembled on location, which means they are easily delivered in standard containers.
The entire structure is made of aluminum anodised extrusion profiles that are assembled with cast aluminum parts to ensure excellent performance in the different foundations systems. The tracker can be used with a variety of foundation systems – with or without concrete – making it possible to use ground profiles and / or foundation screws assembly.
The simple modular design of the axes allows for perfect adaptability to different types of ground and dimensions (including uneven ground) and to the different PV modules available on the market.
Since the system requires almost no maintenance, both maintenance costs and production interruptions are reduced. Cleaning the PV modules is an easy task because the tracker is not tall.
Its low height means lower environmental impact. Given the reduced dimension of the pillar or column section, it requires only light construction work. Land levelling, which is not permitted by environmental authorities in certain locations, is not required, which reduces work costs and avoids affecting the land.
With a low number of mobile parts and the solar tracker software the system tracks the sun with high precision.

Back in January, I was looking at William Forsythe's videos from his CD-Rom Improvisation Technologies and wondering what we could do now that computer and film technologies have progressed so much. Well it turns out Forsythe was on it too: his latest project, called Synchronous Objects for One Flat Thing, reproduced, is a collaboration with the Univeristy of Ohio and launches on the 1st of April.
From the press release:
'Focusing on Forsythe’s complex ensemble dance One Flat Thing, reproduced, the project presents an original collection of screen-based visualizations (video, digital artwork, animation, and interactive graphics) that reveal interlocking systems of organization in the choreography. The project aims to appeal to a broad public from diverse fields including but not limited to dance (...)
This research is a process in which choreographic ideas are the source of information for the composition of unique visual objects. These objects enable the ideas in the choreography to be quickly grasped in their entirety and suggest new interpretations.'
The teaser video and images look stunning, I am really looking forward to seeing more.
Full press release and images from the Synchronous Objects website. There is also an essay by Forsythe. To be honest he kind of lost me after about the fourth paragraph but I kept reading and it started making sense. Choreography can now exist outside of performance, outside of the body, and this project gives choreographic thinking a new outlet for expression (I guess?!)Just for Laughs
