TrinaTracker Powers Brazil's 130-MWp Solar Expansion

• TrinaTracker and WEG SA power up Brazil's Colinas Project with AI-driven solar tracking, optimizing energy on challenging terrain for Kroma Energia and Eletron Energy.

TrinaTracker, a division of Trina Solar Co Ltd, has partnered with Brazilian electrical equipment manufacturer WEG SA to supply its solar tracking system for the 130-MWp Colinas Project in Garanhuns, Pernambuco. The project is a collaboration between Kroma Energia and Eletron Energy and will utilize TrinaTracker's Vanguard 1P solution with SuperTrack technology.

The Colinas Project's uneven terrain poses a challenge, which will be addressed using TrinaTracker's artificial intelligence algorithm to enhance energy generation by minimizing shading between tracker rows, according to Marcus Fabrino, Head of Trina Tracker for Latin America and the Caribbean.

How will TrinaTracker's AI technology optimize energy generation in the Colinas Project?

• TrinaTracker's AI technology will analyze real-time weather data to adjust the angle of solar panels for optimal sunlight exposure.
  
• The AI algorithm will predict shading patterns and adjust the trackers to minimize shading losses, especially on uneven terrain.
  
• It will optimize the tilt and orientation of solar panels throughout the day to maximize energy capture.
  
• The system will use machine learning to continuously improve its performance by learning from historical data and operational feedback.
  
• AI will enable predictive maintenance by identifying potential issues before they lead to system failures, ensuring consistent energy generation.
• The technology will integrate with grid management systems to optimize energy output based on demand forecasts.
• It will enhance energy yield by dynamically adjusting to environmental changes, such as cloud cover or temperature fluctuations.
