Those piles look nice and robust a lot of sail area there.

Yes, Arctech Solar do a full engineering analysis based on wind load for the site, soil structure and select the appropriate components. The piles on the SkySmart I are 5m long, half in the soil and half out with a concrete collar arond each. The purlins on the SkySmart I are their "exterior" tracker purlins designed for trackers on the edge of a solar farm where wind speeds are the most damaging.

Do you need linear actuators, slewing drives, solar tracker controllers these key components of solar tracker system?

Those passive drives seem quite inefficient compared to using many smaller motors. I bet in 3-5 years when economy of scale kicks in we would see systems with many smaller motors and planetary gears in those types of trackers. Maybe even purposely build 40v motors.

👍How many m2 of panels are there and how kw of there. How efficient will 💥array 💥be. How 💲🌏💲💲💲💲will cost.

The SkySmart I tracker has 36kW of panels and the SkySmart II can fit about 50kW of panels. Cost for tracker depends on volume but I heard ~9-13 cents/W.

Actually it was a collaborative project between us (Smart Energy Lab), Arctech Solar (supplied trackers and commissioning team), Longi Solar (supplied the panels) and OTG Energy (SkySmart II installation). Also Jerry Robinson from the Green House Effect and his team assisted with the electricals.

It's cheap alright.. I'm dealing with 4000 units of these Arctech on a farm in WA
