10 module, yet our optics perform better and our cells stay cooler thanks to advanced design features the inverters, run through the tracker frame, eliminating the need for conduit. and eliminating the greenhouse-like box which allows heat to escape from the front and back. Please see the attached specification sheet for additional technical details. 4) About the Savanna PV Tracker Tracker Frame as Cable Conduits: the majority of cables prior to the combiner boxes tha No heavy machinery required no heavy equipment or civil construction required for insta Scalable deployment Low cost system, low cost installation and modularity me installations can scale from low kws to hundreds of MWs. Adjustable leg heights: trackers can be adjusted for uneven terrain, with up to 5 of slope. Product Warranty: a ten year warranty is offered by MSI, with a potential negotiable exten Low land requirement: require approximately 4.4 acres to deploy one MWpAC, which is le the area required by other 2-axis tracked PV. Local job creation and technical training The Savanna tracker is a significantly improved approach to two-axis tracking, based on a simple, highly reliable, human height, self-ballasted low cost structure. In addition to being an extremely reliable low cost product, the Savanna tracker costs much often less just a matter to install of access and via light maintain; truck and using making hand tools. it cost competitive with fixed rack PV Long-term installations revenue per W-peak comparisons. streamthis technology by in large enables PV energy projects to be carried out, making them financially viable by attaining a capacity factor of approximately twice that of fixed rack installations, delivering up to 40% more energy generation r Identify as leaders in sustainability annually when compared to a fixed PV installation. The MSI system is designed to be human scale and installable with simple tools and equipm nothing larger than a forklift and a truck required. Installation can be completed by teams of f skilled individuals, using our easy-to-install IKEA -like system. Similarly, operations and maint The Savanna trackers interconnect with each other creating a lattice design, which provides ballasting that removes the needs for posts or concrete foundations, greatly reducing civil en costs and total installation time. Moreover, the steel interconnection members provide a rea structure upon which cable trays can be mounted to carry the AC power to the tracking unit cabling to the central bus. Consequently, in-field trenching is reduced to only one straight bus.
