Spain based PVH has unveiled its Microtilt feature for Horizontal Single-Axis Trackers (HSAT), significantly enhancing energy yield, especially in high-latitude regions and sloped areas. By introducing a 1º to 2º tilt in the north-south direction, this technology enables solar modules (bifacial or monofacial) to capture more solar radiation throughout the year compared to traditional HSAT systems, which only rotate east-west. According to the company, the Microtilt feature increases energy output by up to 1% in high-latitude areas, achieves these gains with minimal cost increases, and reduces the overall levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for solar projects. Extensive studies and simulations by PV Hardware show that HSAT systems equipped with Microtilt outperform standard systems, making it a valuable addition to solar tracking technology globally.
