Heliene Solar Panel
Heliene Solar Panels

Heliene solar panels are assembled in Ontario and incorporate the latest generation of high efficiency mono-crystalline solar cells, making it possible to obtain maximum solar yield. The panels absorber surface and innovative three bus bars provide attractive aesthetic design, along with high power output.

Heliene Power Guarantee
Heliene Canada guarantees that for ten years, the modules average power generated will not be lower than 90% of its minimum value; for fifteen years continuing the initial ten years, the average power generated will not be lower than 80%; conditions apply.

Fronius Inverter
Fronius Inverters

Solar energy yield increases in part-load areas if smaller power stacks are operated at higher capacity; therefore, every Fronius IG central inverter works with several smaller power stacks that switch on or off completely and automatically depending on irradiance so that they can always deliver maximum power.

In the unlikely event that within ten years from the original purchase, a problem caused by defects in either workmanship or materials is discovered, Fronius will repair or replace the product.

Kinematic Slew Drive
Kinematic Slew Drives

Kinematics slew drives are designed, tested and reliable for a 30-year field life. All aspects of engineering control are based on creating a cost effective, reliable solution with a 30-year performance guarantee. Kinematics slew drives are powered with hourglass worm screw technology to give the maximum survivability load-holding capability as well as increased efficiency and accuracy.

Reliability
Reputation & Reliability

Western Solar's 10 kW solar tracker comes equipped with 48 mono-crystalline panels and inverters to achieve a MicroFit program required name plate capacity of 10 kW.

All components have been thoughtfully designed and assembled with careful consideration towards overall system reliability, long service life, low maintenance and ease of installation. The flexible design accommodates many different PV panel arrangements. The structural system has been developed with stringent design guidelines for a one in 50 year probability major wind storm.

Wind Defence
Wind Defence

The system will temporally move to a defense position during high winds and will automatically resume tracking positions once winds diminish.

Dual Axis Tracking
Dual Axis Tracking

Constant calculation of the sun's position through the motor controller is maintained to within 0.3 degrees as a function of location and time. This tracking system allows photovoltaic panel efficiency to increase yield by 35% to 40% more energy production compared to a fixed panel system.

Powerline Monitoring
Powerline Monitoring

Western's tracking system comes standard with Fronius inverters with the ability (as an option) for a user-friendly data communications system for PV system monitoring. The hardware components are quick and easy to install and the software is simple to operate. The modular design allows the Fronius inverter to be upgraded at any time. Customized monitoring solutions, from basic equipment to complete system management, can be quickly installed and users can view and manage the performance of their solar power system remotely.
