A technology to rely on.
The fact that the patent-protected control system and the utility model-protected mechanical system were
awarded
the inventor’s prize of the federal state of Baden-Württemberg in South-Germany in 2000 shows
that the DEGER
traker
meets the demands of both experts and investors.
Functioning
The DEGER
conecter
control unit detects the brightest spot in the sky and adjusts the module surface’s
position to face it. The DEGER
traker’s
mechanical system allows the accurate adjustment of the module
surface to the sun all year round.
This technology also works in cloudy, rainy or foggy conditions.
If, for
example, a day starts off sunny with clouds moving in from the west in the afternoon, the module surface will
then move back slightly towards the east. On a completely overcast day, the module surface is adjusted to a
horizontal position, or to face the point of the strongest irradiation. This allows to make the most out of
adverse weather conditions.
The control unit is designed to work preferably efficiently and only to do activities that cause a direct
increment of the solar yield.
