Panel Design
The design of the omega panel support structure provides the solar tracking system with a lot of flexibility when it comes to installing different panels made by various manufacturers. The system can handle a maximum power of 11 KWp.
Omega Panel Design and Functionality
Output / 3 Phase Connection
The design of the omega panel support structure provides the solar tracking system with a lot of flexibility when it comes to installing different panels made by various manufacturers. The system can handle a maximum power of 11 KWp.
Anti-Theft System
The very size of the structure (over 4 metres high) gives the equipment an added passive security, as the panels are secured with “headless” screws. The panels are joined and connected to a security system that is able to detect if thepanels should ever be disconnected.
Adaptable to Changing Weather Conditions
The tracking system is connected to a meteorology station and works with a Programmable Logic Controller. The solar tracking device uses this technology to orient the panels under a variety of climate conditions. The automatic programming allows the tracking system to operate in snow, electrical storms, fog, darkness and windy conditions.
Sturdy, Easy to Install, Reduced Maintenance & Power
The tracking system motors use less power (100 kwh/year), which results in a reduced need for maintenance. Likewise, the sturdy construction and design guarantee a long term investment, and the easy installation reduces labour costs and time spent on the construction.

Polarstern expedition: Autonomous underwater vehicle dives under the Arctic iceJuly 30th, 2010
The Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Association for the first time sent its Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) on an under-ice mission at about 79° North. The four-metre-long, torpedo shaped underwater vehicle was deployed from the research icebreaker Polarstern under heavy pack ice. The vehicle was subsequently recovered by helicopter.
Best hope for saving Arctic sea ice is cutting soot emissions, say researchersJuly 29th, 2010
Soot from the burning of fossil fuels and solid biofuels contributes far more to global warming than has been thought, according to a new study. But, unlike carbon dioxide, soot lingers only a few weeks in the atmosphere, so cutting emissions could have a significant and rapid impact on the climate. Controlling it may be the only option for saving the Arctic sea ice before it all melts.
Marine biodiversity strongly linked to ocean temperatureJuly 29th, 2010
Scientists have mapped and analyzed global biodiversity patterns for over 11,000 marine species ranging from tiny zooplankton to sharks and whales.
