SKF has announced that the SKF solar linear actuator CASD-60, a BeyondZero Portfolio product, contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions by increasing the energy production from one solar panel by about 5,8 MWh/year. This equates to a reduction per solution of 4,4 tonnes carbon dioxide/year for a 58 square metre panel (according to world power grid factor of 0,749 kg/kWh). On average, a 15% increase in power generation can be anticipated in comparison to rigid PV solar panel systems.
“Harnessing renewable energy is one of the most effective solutions for reducing carbon dioxide,” says Mahdi Sebti, global segment manager, SKF renewable energy. “SKF’s advanced electromechanical technology offers improvements over today’s maintenance-intensive solutions and delivers high performance, accuracy and efficiency by accurately tracking the sun’s position throughout the day and throughout the seasons.”
Designed to custom solar industry requirements, the SKF Solar Linear Actuator can be used with photovoltaics, concentrating photovoltaics or concentrating solar power systems.
