The BPI tracking sensor from Black Photon (www.black-photon.de) lowers the LCOE by optimizing the tracker control strategy: The high measurement frequency of up to 1 kHz provides great insights into the performance of a tracker control strategy in real time.

This insight can be used to optimize the control parameters like cycle time, threshold value or drive current ramps. It helps maximize the output of the PV system without any additional tracker production or materials costs.
