Canberra’s Majura Valley solar farm will use advanced sun-tracking technology
Majura Valley solar farm system tracks sun January 4, 2015 John Thistleton Reporter for The Canberra Times. Sun-tracking technology for solar panels will be deployed for the first time in Australia at a new solar farm in the Majura Valley on Canberra’s eastern fringe.
Solar Choice is developing and will operate the $6.5 million solar farm, which will feature a QBotix robotic tracking system, developed in California in 2012. The system is used in the United States, Japan and Europe.
Self-charging, track-mounted robots adjust the tilt and orientation of individual solar arrays throughout the day to gain maximum exposure to the sun.
Solar Choice, a brokerage firm which develops and manages solar projects throughout Australia and Britain, is finalising details for the 2MW first stage of its Canberra venture, which will generate about 3 million kWh of clean energy………http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/majura-valley-solar-farm-system-tracks-sun-20150104-12hitb.html
