1 safetrack Horizon The most flexible and economic tracking solution

2 VERIFIED YIELD OPTIMIZATION The most economic form of solar tracking Photovoltaic trackers are the mounting systems you need for an evenly balanced solar power yield throughout the entire day. While rigid systems will generally only offer peak power generation within a narrow time frame, tracking systems by IdeemaTec precisely follow the sun s path, maximizing power generation. Fixed mounting safetrack Horizon Higher yield > 21 % (South Africa) AC Limit of system 6:00 am 9:00 am 12:30 pm 4:00 pm 7:00 pm Solutions and services All central components of the safetrack Horizon have already been installed thousands of times since The safetrack Horizon is therefore based on experience and know-how gained from around 40,000 systems installed worldwide. Compared to fixed-mounted systems, the horizontal tracker enables a yield increase of up to 25 %. IdeemaTec offers end-to-end solutions with its tracking systems. For this reason, we support you in each phase of planning, whether for standard project planning activities or for project-specific engineering, where we analyze all conditions on site and monitor the progression of construction for the system from the beginning. From shading analysis and the system design through to ram testing, foundation works and installation and commissioning our services cover all requirements for large photovoltaic projects.

FLEXIBLE SOLAR FARM SIZES Robust and flexible construction with support structure technology Light steel structure with patented steel cord system drive, which captures torsional forces and

layout due to variable table lengths and designs Yield maximization with snow sensor for ice and snow free module surfaces in areas with high snow loads Almost entirely distortion-free module

rows Highest terrain flexibility on slopes with gradients of up to 36 % in all directions Highest Ground Coverage Ratio Highest peak power per tracker unit of all single-row tracking systems

3 FLEXIBLE SOLAR FARM SIZES Robust and flexible construction with support structure technology Light steel structure with patented steel cord system drive, which captures torsional forces and statically defines and affixes the tracker in each position High wind tracker for up to a spectacular 180 mph Wind and sand tested in a laboratory and in practice in desert regions Flexible string layout due to variable table lengths and designs Yield maximization with snow sensor for ice and snow free module surfaces in areas with high snow loads Almost entirely distortion-free module surfaces thanks to intelligent load distribution to avoid module cracks Tracker and foundations certified for earthquake regions Innovative drive system No interfering drive rods between the module rows Highest terrain flexibility on slopes with gradients of up to 36 % in all directions Highest Ground Coverage Ratio Highest peak power per tracker unit of all single-row tracking systems Single-row tracking system Individual output-optimized 3D tracking Distance between trackers can be defined according to customer requirements Backtracking with trackers with drive rods leads to module shading Individual backtracking with safetrack Horizon without module shading

4 MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY AND PV POWER DENSITY Optimized Ground Coverage Ratio Over an area of 10 hectares, 33 % more capacity can be installed with safetrack Horizon trackers. Area utilization with safetrack Horizon Area utilization with standard trackers 50 % 70 % fewer foundations Material and O&M savings through reduced number of foundations with the same statics and project size Appropriate foundation selection following soil analysis Fast and easy installation Material supplies coordinated with installation procedure No or limited grading necessary High use of pre-assembled parts; no welding needed on the construction site Rivet or screw attachment of the modules in project-specific, pre-drilled rails Set with auxiliary tools for fast, precise installation Installation team trained by IdeemaTec

PROFITABLE SYSTEM OPERATION System operation and maintenance No subsequent adjustment of mechanical parts and components throughout the service life of the system 99.

cleaning machines to drive through and clean twice as much module surface in half the time Very low standard service costs due to the use of maintenance-free components such as grease-free ball

5 PROFITABLE SYSTEM OPERATION System operation and maintenance No subsequent adjustment of mechanical parts and components throughout the service life of the system 99.9% availability determined since 2007 Online remote control of the function; tracker positioning via internet and Easy to clean: V-position and no connecting rods between the trackers allow cleaning machines to drive through and clean twice as much module surface in half the time Very low standard service costs due to the use of maintenance-free components such as grease-free ball bearings, winches and ropes. No need for additional staff for tracker maintenance, in contrast to fixed-mounted systems 67 % less motors than other single-row tracking systems safetrack Horizon Battery + Integrated DC backup solution with battery pack, ensuring power availability to drive tracker into stow position Battery pack located in tracker control unit next to each single motor provides Go-to-Stow functionality during power cuts or storms (for min. of 3 days) Three times more security for the control system With robust DC motor and battery storage system Intelligent battery monitoring with actual capacity display of the battery Remote access Use of standard battery components possible Quality and Bankability Black & Veatch TüV Süd Technical due dilligence by Fichtner Windtunneltests by Wacker Ingenieure
