Tracking Functions
Gantner.TrackIQ offers a comprehensive set of intelligent tracking functions designed to maximize energy production and protect assets. From adaptive safety mechanisms to advanced backtracking and Agri-PV optimization, the system dynamically responds to environmental conditions and operational requirements.
Safety Functions
- Adaptive tracking angles based on wind speed and direction
- Static safety positions, configured individually for each plant
- Maximizes PV production even in windy conditions, within defined limits
- Adjustable tilt positions during snowfall (accounting for wind speed)
- Static safety position that prevents snow build-up on the tracker
- Maximizes PV production – clear panels stay ready to capture light
- Moves out of the impact direction based on weather forecast
- Reduces hail impact force to maximize PV module survivability
- Reduces the maximum tilt angle when the flood sensor is active, preventing damage to the PV modules
Backtracking
- Definable tracker position based on weather forecast or irradiation sensors
- On cloudy days, an optimized position between 0° (horizontal) and the sun angle captures as much diffuse light as possible
- Trackers follow the sun based on geolocation data and time of day
- Maximizes PV production by keeping the optimal angle to the sun
- Enables tightly spaced trackers while maintaining high production from sunrise to sunset
- Using precise geolocation data for each tracker, the algorithm optimizes the angle of every tracker individually
- Prevents mutual shading and increases overall production
Agri-PV Tracker
- Predefined positions can be activated via the app to enable harvesting and field access
- Storms, heavy rain, hail and snow can harm crops – the tracker helps protect them within defined limits
- Too much or too little sun, too wet or too dry – climatic conditions change quickly, and Track.Bloxx helps improve the growing conditions for crops
- When power production is not the priority, the tracker can increase or reduce shading to match crop needs (appropriate sensors and rules required)
- Whether light or heavy rain, the tracker can let it through to the crops or shield them from it
