• Cleaning the 40 year old scrapyard to make the land suitable for installation
• Aligning all the solar panels on shafts with high degree of precision
• Ensuring exact degree movement for the modules

The tracker-based system generated on an average 20% more clean energy as compared to a ‘non-tracker’ based system, but there were quite a few challenges to be overcome before and during the installation.

• The Surface Flattened
  The backyard of the manufacturing facility was made up of barren land that contained a lot of heavy metal scrap. Unearthing all the metal scrap turned out to be a tedious task and an important one too since the boring (for the civil work) could not have happened had there been metal pieces present underground. As a result, the engineering team suggested to dig about one meter deep and clean the land parcel. The entire cleaning process took about two months to be completed, removing all excess metal and scrap, and ensuring back filling, compacting, and watering. Post this, the surface was flattened and civil work began on the barren land, which was now “solar ready”.
• Installing Solar Trackers
  Once the surface was flattened, the meticulous job of installation began. Once installed, the trackers are easy to operate but a lot of precision goes into designing and installing them. About a hundred photovoltaic solar modules were installed on a single shaft, simultaneously rotating from east to west from morning through to evening, constantly tracking the motion of the sun. The highly mechanized work of aligning the shafts and placing the modules requires a great amount of accuracy and exactness for the system to work. Apart from alignment, the technicians also ensured that all the panels were at the same degree at all the times to maximize generation.

• A ground mount solar tracker system to increase power generation by about 20%
• About a hundred PV modules were installed on a single shaft
• Ensuring that trackers move precisely from east to west through morning to evening, constantly tracking sun’s movement
