CORNELIUS, N.C., June 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The PV Solar industry continues to adopt tracker systems for increased energy yields and higher power output during more hours of the day. However, trackers can pose difficulties for monitoring systems and O&M providers due to inadequate visibility of real-world operations. Unlike fixed tilt sites, trackers also introduce multiple mechanical and electrical challenges. If left unattended, shortfalls in production accumulate, which can create significant production losses over time. myPV IQ helped identify and resolve issues, removing barriers to commercial operation &; accelerating capacity testing. Owner's Agent Mike Whitson with PowerOn Energy Consultants contacted Solar Operations Solutions, LLC (Solar-Ops) with an operational visibility and control requirement in a new tracker system. Tracking mechanical failure mode in realtime was exceptionally difficult and the mechanical issue was amplified by improper wiring at installation. With DC homeruns routed near the edge of the solar modules, any tracker actuation failure would cause mechanically linked rows to electrically tear apart.
