Build your turnkey system
with SUNRACKER®®
The single-axis tracker that meets your needs.
Balanced with a high moment of inertia, SUNRACKER® is a solar tracker benefitting from an accurate astronomical algorithm that operates fully autonomously, without the need of GPS and/or third party services. Specifically, the solar tracker has a sophisticated constant shadow backtracking system, which is a key feature for maintaining the maximum possible angle of the solar panels. This limits one row from casting a shadow on the next. Precise analytical formulas allow us to optimise production according to the east-west inclination of the land.
Our strengths
SUNRACKER® trackers are the perfect solution for making the most out of solar power. A sustainable and efficient choice for your company. Your needs are our strengths. Together we will design and build your photovoltaic system.
The software developed by RCM aims to respond efficiently to customer requests. The control system is based on open hardware, the main components of which are supplied by ABB: a further guarantee of quality and availability of components in the long term. Customers can therefore order a turnkey control system, or request the electrical and assembly diagrams to assemble the system themselves, in which case RCM will be responsible for loading the software and testing the system. The software is carefully optimised for each individual system, according to the nature of the site and the needs of the client, in order to maximise the production of electricity.
A photovoltaic system needs a structure to hold the panels that is reliable, strong and high-performing. SUNRACKER® is a solar tracking system designed and built by RCM.
The trackers can be ordered with variable lengths, according to the layout of your design. The movement of the panels is driven by a direct current linear actuator. The panels move in sequence and independently of each other, so as to guarantee correct orientation towards the sun. The panel control system is based on a TCP/IP (wired or wireless) protocol. Each controller controls 12 to 16 panels and is equipped with a dedicated PLC, which guarantees movement even if the data network fails.
The sun is the Earth’s primary energy source. SUNRACKER® is the perfect way to capture its power. In the tracking phase, the panels are able to maximise the amount of light they intercept, reducing losses due to misalignment to below 1.5 per thousand. When the maximum self-shading angle is less than the orthogonal tracking angle, the backtracking phase is started. This guarantees the absence of shadows regardless of the elevation of the sun, with the lowest possible misalignment losses. RCM will prepare an accurate layout of the position and elevation of the trackers to guarantee the maximum performance of the system. The SUNRACKER® system can be fully controlled remotely through a dedicated VPN.
Our innovative solution
Pure avant-garde. The best sun-tracking technology. SUNRACKER® is the competitive and efficient option for making the most of solar radiation.
Turn your face to the sun
and the shadows will fall
behind you.
(Maori proverb)
The support allows for a wide range of mounting positions, as it can be adjusted by 150mm.
The bearing is securely coupled to the structure and designed to manage difficult terrains, thanks to its ability to work with misalignment of up to 10°.
Thanks to the centre of gravity compensation provided by the inertia stabilisers, there is discontinuity in the solar panels and the more sensitive components are protected against the weather.
The SUNRACKER® panel assembly system is practical, simple and fast.
The inertia stabilisers increase the moment of inertia of the panels, dampening the forces generated by the wind.
