Hecate Energy first to utilize Ideematec's latest trackers in solar project

• Ideematec, a global solar tracking systems distributor, was picked by developer Hecate Energy to offer 4 MW of its Horizon L: Tec solar trackers for an approaching installation. The project, situated in Newberry, South Carolina, will certainly be installed by the construction and project administration solutions company, Reach Construction Group.

" With their efficiency-enhancing style, integrity under extreme conditions and also ultra-quiet operation, Ideematec, Inc's solar trackers are an excellent suitable for Hecate's Newberry solar project," stated Preston Schulz, director of growth for Hecate Energy. "Ideematec's trackers are necessary to assisting Hecate satisfy our objective of making a quantifiable difference in the transition to a zero-carbon electrical grid; structure projects that lessen interruption to next-door neighbors while making the most of facility result."

This project will be the very first center to take on Ideematec's new tracking system, the Horizon L: Tec, which was launched throughout Solar Power International this Fall. The new two-in-portrait (2P) tracker features a patented locking innovation that safeguards module fly setting against extreme wind loads, to lower upkeep expenses and also expand product life-span.

Panels are able to remain in stow position, at a 0 ° angle, against approximately 180 miles per hour winds. The tracker integrates flawlessly with bifacial modules to generate even more energy per tracker, as well as fits extra-large PV modules.

" We are honored to be collaborating with Hecate and also Reach on the Newberry project," says Philipp Klemm, CEO of Ideematec.
