When your installation no longer follows the sun, you lose performance every day without necessarily noticing it straight away.
At Gielen Recyclage, it quickly became clear that their solar installation was no longer performing as expected. What is normally an automated system that continuously ensures maximum output was gradually failing to deliver on that purpose.
The installation was equipped with Deger trackers, systems that automatically orient the solar panels towards the sun to maximise energy production. A number of these trackers were no longer functioning correctly, causing the panels to be positioned in different directions.
This issue had a direct impact on the performance of the entire installation. Instead of generating energy optimally, production was being lost on a daily basis, without this always being immediately visible.
Solar Assistance quickly identified the issue during a site visit and acted without delay. The defective components were replaced and the trackers were carefully recalibrated, ensuring that the panels were once again correctly aligned with the sun.
The result was immediately noticeable: the installation now operates as intended again, and the energy losses were converted back into optimal production.
