Case Study | Grace Solar Smart Tracking System Lights Up Retorbido, Italy

In Retorbido, Italy, Grace Solar successfully deployed an intelligent tracking system for a local photovoltaic plant, achieving high-efficiency and stable operation. This case highlights our expertise in adapting to Mediterranean climate challenges.

Project Overview: Harnessing Solar Energy in Retorbido

In Retorbido, Italy, Grace Solar successfully deployed a smart tracking system for a photovoltaic plant, enabling high-efficiency and stable operation. The region experiences a typical Mediterranean climate with dry, sunny summers and mild, rainy winters, posing challenges like seasonal strong winds and temperature variations that demand dynamic stability and fast response from the tracking system.

Intelligent Control and Optimization

The project utilized Grace Solar's smart tracking system, which dynamically adjusts panel angles by sensing real-time sun position and weather changes, maximizing energy yield during abundant sunlight. Equipped with an anti-wind algorithm, the system automatically switches to a safe angle during high winds, ensuring structural integrity and operational safety. This intelligent approach aligns with Grace Solar's core value of "Do it right the first time," delivering reliability from the outset.
