German startup SunOyster Energy has deployed a movable PV diagram in line with a twin-axis tracking diagram in South Africa’s Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, to create energy for Eco Lodge “White Lion.”
The PVmover diagram, which was once already deployed at an unspecified set up in northern Germany earlier this year, hosts 9 PV modules and has a capability of three.8 kW.
The manufacturer talked about the diagram may per chance well perhaps even be space up rapid and in a standardized manner the usage of ground anchors, with out a must pour foundations and depend upon the concrete to harden. The bottom anchors can reportedly withstand excessive tensile loads and may per chance well perhaps even be without concern removed on the tip of the diagram lifecycle without leaving any residue.
The biaxial tracking PVmover can purportedly generate extra electricity than passe PV systems without trackers. Its top of beneath 3 meters enables for installation in Germany without requiring building permits.
Sharp in two axes, this ground-mounted diagram has particular dimensions, along side a circular set up of 33 sq. meters with a 6.5-meter diameter, a top of 2.98 meters, and a width of 5.4 meters, taking beneath consideration one-day installation.

“The PVmovers notice the solar from east to west and likewise alter their angle of inclination to the solar,” the corporate talked about in a press liberate. “In consequence, they generate severely extra vitality than completely installed picture voltaic systems. On account of the tracking, the PVmovers generate approx. 30% extra electricity in Germany when in contrast to optimally south-facing, completely installed PV modules, and approx. 50% extra electricity when in contrast to east-west-facing modules.”
The corporate also produces a smaller twin-axis tracking picture voltaic tracker, the PVmover 18. This model entails four PV modules with a capability of 1.7 kW. It requires a circular set up of 12.5 sq. meters, with a diameter of 4 meters.
As well, it has developed a concentrating picture voltaic technology in line with parabolic mirrors that can raise out a 75% effectivity in converting say radiation into heat. It’s on the moment producing the devices at its facility on the GreenTEC campus in Enge-Sande, Germany.
