In this case they are single-axis trackers, which give the plant a 25 percent higher performance than fixed panels at a cost that is almost equal. The operation was carried out by Trackers Feina's partner in North America, OPEL Solar Inc.
The majority of the trackers are built by OPEL Inc. under license of Trackers Feina SL, adapting to American standards. The trackers are Model TF-850 (Tracker Feina-850, with a capacity of 850 square feet). The rest is supplied by Trackers Feina.
The delivery of the first field was completed in September for a 2.32 MW facility in Palmdale, California. The second project is located in 29 Palms, in the Mojave Desert, and the delivery of the TF-850 trackers has recently been completed with the other 2, 27 MW.
Trackers Feina SL is expected to increase tracker shipments to the United States due to the high reliability and low price offered by these trackers, and also the growth of this market. Trackers Feina SL is the oldest manufacturer of trackers in Southern Europe. Trackers Feina makes single-axis, double-axis and photovoltaic concentration trackers as a world leader. Currently, about 95 percent of the production is exported to 50 countries.
