Services
We intend to provide the better mousetrap of Horizontal Single Axis Trackers (HSAT) for PV Solar Farms. We have seven patents and three pending that bring significant cost savings and truly significant production gains.
Up to 7% solar farm output gain is achievable with our IP. This easily retrofits to all HSATs on the market, 1P, 2P, and 2L that use a central torque tube.
We have other IP that prevents solar farm loses in the 2% - 20% range.
The two IPs above can increase a poor producing PV solar farm on HSAT by upwards of 27%, and at such a low cost (less than a penny a watt) as to lower LCOE of the solar farm by 26%.
The well-producing solar farms utilizing bifacial PV on torque tube HSATs (1P & 2P) can produce upwards of another 7%. That's a meaningful 6% lower LCOE.
For less a half a cent per watt ($5M/GW), the ROI is 25% - 125%, with payback in the 1yr - 4yr range. If the increase in output is high (e.g., we double your bifacial backside output) the expect a sub-one-year payback with an instant and simple ~6% lower LCOE.
If the gain to the solar farm is only 3% (still significant!) and the PPA is $30/MWh, then the payback is four years and the IRR is 25%, for a 2% lower LCOE.
That is the range; we lower LCOE by 2% - 20%.

If you want to lower LCOE, we have the IP that you need to license.
Here at Sun And Steel Solar LLC, we pride ourselves on coming up with innovative ideas for improvements in HSATs for:
Lower Capex
Faster-Better-Cheaper installation
Lower Opex, and more output (more kWh/kW/yr)
Balanced at every tilt
Less motor draw from neutral center of gravity
No sediment ponding when stowed up-down
Superior wind defense in 0 deg tilt stow of up-down
We’re problem-solvers, innovators, and offer a complete range of services designed to improve your PV solar farm's productivity.
No-Obligation Consultation
Our IP is worth looking at.
If you own PV solar farms, then you want to retrofit our IP onto your farm.
Same goes for the operators. We have IP that make you the Maytag Repairman, and IP that can deliver more electrons from the same sky and same ground.
1P & 2P, bifacial PV, we know how to release the bottled-up backside.
Elegant, simple, cheap, 30-years of 2% - 7% more farm output.
Most often it will be closer to the 7%. It depends if 1P or 2P. Let's talk.
Fast Response
The increase in solar farm output will be instantaneous. That first day, whether sunny or overcast, will immediately deliver the extra output.
The IP owned by Sun And Steel Solar LLC is for you. We can do a collaboration, or you can license the IP and start improving your solar farm assets, existing and planned.
