SRC Concentrator combines years of experience in manufacturing PVCOOL Solar Trackers.              

Electronic Control Unit works in 2 seconds working pulse and 10 min waiting period mode. Our superior microprocessor locates the brightest spot in the sky and is always pointing the array to the optimal direction. After sunset, the tracker automatically returns to the sunrise morning position. MOSFET transistors make Electronic Control Unit more reliable compared to the conventional units on relays. Heavy-duty linear actuator is completely protected against overload. During accelerated tests the tracker performed 4,000 tracking cycles, representing 11 years of field operation.

Solar modules operate in low concentration ratio C=1.6 and do not require any additional active cooling system due to the use PVcool Solar modules. For higher up to 4X concentration ratio, SRC PVcool concentrators are available with multiple air cooling fans. Active cooling increases life expectancy of solar modules, which totally eliminates browning of EVA films.

Ridge concentrators do not require precise tracking compared to other concentrators, which makes them very simple in installation and reliable in operation.

SRC concentrators with PVCOOL-SP modules perfectly suitable for Algae growing and biodiesel production. SRC-16 concentrators achieved unbeatable in PV industry energy cost results US12cents per kW-hour and up to 6.5 kW extra heat power  available for Algae photobioreactors temperature control in cold time to keep temperature above +15 Degree C, which save up to  US$2500-00 per year/each SRC-16  

With a total PV/Thermal conversion efficiency 60% , concentrators generate 95% of  thermal heat from rear-side which can be used for heating of buildings, turbine generators and other low heat energy applications
