DEGERenergie Supports Installation and Operation of Its MLD Tracking Systems and Guarantees Maximum Safety

Quality made in Germany - this distinction fully applies to MLD tracking systems from German tracking expert DEGERenergie. So far, more than 45,000 of the company's systems have been installed all over the world - many of them in Canada.

In order to also guarantee the safety and stability of the tracking systems in exposed locations, DEGERenergie has - among other innovations - developed its HD (heavy duty) systems. In addition, the company provides its distribution and installation partners as well as all retailers with a sophisticated planning tool, which takes into account the size and location of the facility as well as the wind loads to be expected. Specifically for Canada, DEGERenergie had the stability of its tracking systems additionally calculated by a local engineering company based on the requirements of the Ontario Building Code (OBC) and National Building Code of Canada (NBCC). All instructions DEGERenergie provides for the installation of DEGERenergie trackers comply with these OBC and NBCC guidelines as well as numerous additional parameters.

Michael Heck, Vice President Sales & Marketing at DEGERenergie: "Our planning tool and technical installation specifications serve for the safety and durability of installed DEGERenergie systems. This way, we can ensure return on investment and long-term customer satisfaction with our technology. On this basis, we have become the world market leader for solar tracking systems."

About DEGERenergie (www.DEGERenergie.com):

DEGERenergie is the leading manufacturer with the world's largest product range of single and dual-axis solar tracking systems.

With the DEGERconecter, the solar modules are always aligned according to the brightest position in the sky with the highest energy yield. This way, the overall energy yield of solar power plants with MLD tracking is up to 45 percent higher than that of fixed systems and this difference is even more pronounced for peaks.
