SKF solutions have two solutions to contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions by increasing the energy production from solar panels. The SKF Solar Linear Actuator-CASD-60 and SKF Solar Hub CRSD 290 increases energy production from one 58 sq meter solar panel by 5.8 MWh annually, equating to a reduction per solution of 4.4 tons of carbon dioxide a year.
Both solutions are a part of the SKF BeyondZero portfolio, available to provide single and dual axis movement that tracks the travel of the sun as it moves across the sky. Both solutions are custom designed to manage extremely harsh conditions in which solar panels operate, and are IP 65 certified. And, both solutions provide highly accurate movement and are virtually maintenance-free with an expected service life of 20 years which helps SKF customers to achieve lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE). SKF Solar Linear Actuators and SKF Solar Hub can be used with PV, CPV, or CSP systems.
