How does TURNSOLE work? x
The ultimate plug-and-play tracking system x
Robust & reliable
Our tracking solution combines engineering expertise from PROINSO’s long-term strategic supply partners, all global leaders in their respective technologies. Leveraging significant combined experience in global tracker deployment and OMRON’s leading position in power electronics, the synergy ensures an optimised performance with a focus on longevity and reliability.
Increased yield
Our tracking system will increase energy yield on your projects by up to 25% (compared to fixed-structure installations). Equipped with adaptive backtracking, TURNSOLE Powered by OMRON works across all types of slopes in the East-West axis, with up to 110 degrees (+- 55 degrees) of rotation in our Tier 1 solar modules (selected for maximum efficiency.)
One-stop-shop solution
TURNSOLE Powered by OMRON is more than a tracker. This powerful tracking system is fully integrated using world-class solar PV components. These include high-efficiency PV modules, best-performing string inverters, SCADA monitoring & control system and DC wiring. Rely on our expertise in negotiating global procurement contracts for the maximum price efficiency.
Reduced installation costs
Our ready-to-use tracker will lessen installation and maintenance time. Simplified installation of TURNSOLE Powered by OMRON tracking system will results in lower man-hours, while optimised foundation design reduces civil work costs. The system requires minimum maintenance.
Fit for all terrains
Thanks to its optimized design featuring 40 panels in a single line, TURNSOLE Powered by OMRON has a high degree of flexibility, which makes it suitable for even the most complicated shaped terrains. You can now utilise the utility-scale tracking technology for project starting from as little as 12kW.
