www.massmegawatts.com announces plans to seek UL 3703
certification, the Standard for Solar Trackers, involving rigorous
inspection and evaluation of tracker performance. In addition to
recent innovations, Mass Megawatts also announced the improvement
of an additional 20 percent with an innovative redesign of its
patent pending solar tracker to maximize the albedo or solar
reflection effect of receiving electric power output from the
backside of solar panels that can accept solar rays from both sides
of the solar panel. The cost saving improvement is possible since
the patent pending solar tracker has the competitive advantage of
using a low-cost method for protection against high wind and
hurricane related events. The solar panels attached to the tracker
platform would force the face of the panels to turn 90 degrees from
the direction of the wind. The system allows a slip feature
during high wind conditions. Once the wind returns to less
dangerous levels, the tracker resumes its operations. The "yaw
sideways" technique avoids the need for additional material and
cost needed to protect against high wind events.
Earlier
this summer, the Mass Megawatts announced a photovoltaic version of
the concentrated power system. The concentrator section has two
times more surface area than the area of the solar panels. The
concentrators do not have to be expensive parabolic objects. It can
be inexpensive flat silver colored canvas like sections which focus
directly on an even manner onto the solar panels through the day
using our platform based low-cost solar tracker. The silver color
for reflectors is important due to the high albedo (reflectivity)
effect of silver. The avoidance of concentrated hot spots on the
solar panel is avoided using a dual axis version of solar tracker
software using a motor to move the horizontal section of solar
panels and an actuator to move the vertical section which raises
and lowers the panels to an optimal level for that time of the
year. At the same time, the maximum output from the reflectors of
110 percent more output is enhanced on top of the 36 percent
additional output from our patent pending platform based solar
tracker. As a result, the total additional power output is 170
percent greater than similar number of solar panels without the
solar tracker and reflectors.
Mass Megawatts is developing a
patented pending, Mass Megawatts 'Solar Tracking System' (STS)
which is designed to automatically adjust the position of solar
panels throughout the day to receive an optimal level of direct
sunlight. Unlike other solar tracking technologies, the Mass
Megawatts STS utilizes a low-cost structure that adds stability to
the overall system while also improving energy production levels.
The STS utilizes a
proprietary mechanical innovation to limit dynamic and static
loading on the tracker, which can occur during periods of high wind
and extreme weather. The technology reduces wind-related stresses
and system downtime. The STS allows Mass Megawatts to lower the
cost of material and reduce the number of solar panels needed to
generate the rated capacity. Due to this advantage, Mass
Megawatts STS systems
can deliver more solar power
production at a price similar to lower-capacity, stationary
systems.
The key driver to future sales is
the use of solar trackers being known to reduce the cost of solar
powered electricity. Although Mass Megawatts in 2023 is aiming to
achieving a very small fraction of global demand of this specific
solar market segment, the solar tracker market is anticipated to be
worth more than $3 billion by 2025 expanding from the current
market size of about $2 billion. Mass Megawatts sees an opportunity
to be part of the growing solar tracker market with a lower cost
product than the trackers marketed by other solar tracker companies
in this high growth segment of the solar energy
market.
A solar tracker is a method of
tracking the sun throughout the day for a photovoltaic (PV) system
increase energy output throughout the day. The market is
anticipated to have substantial growth due to the growing need for
renewable energy.
With its patent pending, Solar
Tracking System, Mass Megawatts believes it is well positioned for
expanded production and supporting its revenue generation goals in
the longer term.
