Welcome to our comprehensive guide where we delve into the intricacies of accessing the single-axis tracker and designer systems within our Design Studio platform.

In this blog post, we will not only show you how to access these systems but also provide detailed insights into setting up the racking type, defining parameters, adding subarrays, configuring inverters, and calculating generation numbers.

So, let's embark on this journey together and unlock the full potential of our Design Studio capabilities!

Accessing the Single-Axis Tracker and Designer Systems: Navigating through the Design Studio interface to access the single-axis tracker and designer systems is a straightforward process. Below, we outline the step-by-step procedure:

Design Settings Exploration:

  • Begin by navigating to the design settings section within the Design Studio interface.
  • Within this section, you'll encounter various options related to racking types, including fixed-tilt mount, flush mount, east-west racking, and our newest addition, the single-axis tracker.

Selecting the Single-Axis Tracker:

  • Within the racking type options, locate and select the single-axis tracker.
  • This selection grants you access to a plethora of customization options, allowing you to define parameters such as axis tilt, axis azimuth, and tracking range according to your specific project requirements.

Defining Parameters with Precision:

  • Upon selecting the single-axis tracker, you'll be prompted to define specific parameters crucial for optimal system performance.
  • While default settings may suffice for some projects, our platform empowers you to tailor these parameters precisely to your project's needs. Common default settings include a tracking range of +45, an azimuth of 180, and a tilt of zero.

Adding Subarrays for Enhanced Flexibility:

  • To further enhance the configurability of your design, the Design Studio enables you to seamlessly add subarrays.
  • For instance, you can effortlessly configure a 120 by 120 subarray configuration, with the option to adjust the number of array rows and columns as required. In our demonstration, we'll opt for a 2x8 configuration.

Configuring Inverters for Optimal Performance:

  • Select and integrate your preferred inverter, whether it be a microinverter or another suitable option, into your design.
  • This crucial step ensures compatibility and optimal performance of your solar energy system.

Calculating Generation Numbers for Informed Decision-Making:

  • Leveraging the robust capabilities of our Design Studio, proceed to calculate the generation numbers specific to your single-axis tracker design.
  • This invaluable feature allows for insightful comparisons between the projected generation numbers of a design utilizing single-axis tracking versus a traditional fixed tilt racking mount.

Conclusion

By following the comprehensive steps outlined above, you gain effortless access to the single-axis tracker and designer systems within our Design Studio platform. This not only facilitates the customization of parameters but also enables you to add subarrays, configure inverters, and calculate generation numbers with ease.

We trust that this guide has equipped you with the necessary knowledge to harness the full potential of our Design Studio for your solar energy system design endeavors.
