The company’s Australian division presented its flagship product, the SkyLine II solar tracking system, alongside advanced commercial and industrial (C&I) and residential battery energy storage systems (BESS), specifically engineered for Australian conditions.
The SkyLine II 1P single-axis tracking system features a proprietary multi-point drive mechanism that effectively mitigates PV module stress from dynamic and static loads induced by extreme weather conditions prevalent in Australia. The system’s wind-resistance capabilities enable horizontal stowing beginning at wind speeds up to 22m/s, resulting in a proven 2% increase in energy yield on some projects. Furthermore, through integration with Arctech’s advanced AI-powered backtracking and cloud prediction software, the performance of the SkyLine II is enhanced by eliminating shading between rows and maximizing the capture of diffuse radiation during cloudy conditions, thereby delivering an enhanced energy generation rate of up to 8% and improving projects’ IRR.
To combat atmospheric corrosion in Australian solar installations, Arctech has implemented various measures, including the application of advanced zinc-aluminum-magnesium coating systems, utilization of hot-dip galvanisation processes, and deployment of site-specific foundation engineering solutions.
By implementing an optimised torque tube design, conducting advanced wind load analysis to minimise foundation requirements, employing factory pre-assembly protocols to reduce on-site labor needs, and implementing streamlined installation procedures, Arctech significantly enhances the efficiency of solar project installations while simultaneously reducing on-site labor costs.
Arctech also showcased its C&I and residential energy storage systems at the exhibition. These BESS portfolios feature an in-house developed integrated power conversion system (PCS) and advanced energy management system (EMS), and BMS (battery management system). Consequently, our comprehensive integrated system exhibits exceptional compatibility and adaptability to dynamic market conditions.
Since initiating operations in Australia in 2017, Arctech has deployed approximately 700 MW of tracking systems and established Sydney-based operations. The company has end-to-end service infrastructure including technical engineering support, supply chain optimisation, after-market service networks, local O&M capabilities and strategic market development efforts.
Arctech is aligning its expansion strategy with Australia’s Solar Sunshot initiative and Future Made in Australia Act, reinforcing its commitment to local market development and energy transition objectives through enhanced localization efforts and technological innovation.
