Axial continues to feature 2 tracker platforms in the survey, with an unchanged lineup but updated specifications across configurations
Product updates include revised row lengths, string configurations, and weight ranges, along with integration of Homokinetic terrain-following and Multipoint Blocking stow systems
Flexible power supply options, differentiated stow strategies, and configuration-specific GCR highlight system adaptability across utility-scale and agrivoltaic applications
Axial Structural Solutions promotes 3 trackers in the latest TaiyangNews Solar Trackers Market Survey. The product lineup remains the same as last year, but a few specifications have been updated. The listing includes AxialTracker 1V / 1V Twin, AgriTracker, and 2V TT. As last year, the company has compiled the specs for 2 models – AxialTracker 1V and 1V Twin – in a single column of the survey table. Among the listed products, 2VTT is a 2P tracker, while the others use a 1P design. And except for the 1V Twin, which is a dual-row tracker, the rest use an independent-row design.
Row size, dimensions, and weight are the most significant changes these products have undergone since their previous listing. The AxialTracker 1V / 1V Twin is configured to support 2 strings and has a maximum tracker length of 80 m. The 2V TT is now designed to support 3 strings and a maximum tracker length of 60 m or 1.5 strings. For the AgriTracker, Axial specified that the tracker support blocks of 24 m in EW and string length of 24, 26, or 28 modules in the N/S configuration. These products are now listed with weight ranges in this edition – 600 to 1,200 kg, 800 to 1,400 kg, and 14,500 to 18,000 kg – in the same order. Each of these products is also highlighted with a few key features. The 1V and 1V Twin now integrate Axial Homokinetic Technology, the company’s proprietary terrain following technology. Axial’s 2V TT now integrates the Axial Multipoint Blocking System, which supports controlled stowing and improved wind stability. AgriTracker offers the widest tracking range of ±85°, the remaining 3 offer ±55°. In the current edition, Axial has provided minimum clearance values for all models. The 1V / 1V Twin and 2V TT now require a clearance range of 0.5 to 2.1 m, while AgriTracker requires a higher clearance of 4.5 to 5 m to support agricultural operations.
The entire Axial product range is available with 3 power-supply options for tracker operation. One of them is a self-powered configuration. In this setup, a dedicated PV panel and battery storage are used to operate the system, with battery charging occurring whenever solar energy is available, without affecting string production. A slightly modified variant is a string-powered variant, which uses energy generated directly by the PV strings and is supported by a battery storage system. A grid-powered tracker variant (AC 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz) is recommended for cold climates, where battery-based operation may be less practical. All of the company’s listed trackers offer wind protection through a stow position and dampers, allowing them to withstand wind speeds of up to 50 km/h, with gust durations of 3 seconds at a height of 10 m. The safety stowing strategy varies by module configuration: the 2P product is stowed at 5°, while all the remaining trackers are stowed at 45°. The ground coverage ratio (GCR) also differs by configuration – 28% for 1P products and 36% for 2P. Axial’s systems use Zigbee wireless communication between trackers and control units, which can control 150 to 200 trackers. Its monitoring solution allows for remote control of the tracker’s position. The Spanish company uses its own SCADA solution to optimize these features.
All of Axial’s products can be installed without special machinery. All of its components are said to be able to cope with uneven ground, and parts are assembled using bolted connections, avoiding the need for on-site welding or mechanization.
Axial provides a long 25-year warranty on the mechanical structure and a 5-year warranty on the motor and electronics.
