TTI's SunSeeker® Single-axis Tracking System Maximizes Power Production for Site

October 6, 2008 (Jindo County, South Korea) - Samsung C&T Corporation recently dedicated the 3 Megawatt (MW) "Sol-Luce Jindo" solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Jindo County, South Jeolla Province in Korea. Sol-Luce Jindo will provide electricity to 1,500 families in the region. S-Energy Co. Ltd. designed and built the system utilizing their solar modules and the SunSeeker® Single-Axis Tracker System by Thompson Technology Industries (TTI).

The SunSeeker System allows for greater energy production over traditional fixed-tilt mounting systems. The single-axis tracking technology follows the path of the sun daily, resulting in 10-20% production gain over fixed tilt systems and up to 25% over flat mounted systems.

"We looked at various solutions, and TTI gave us a true advantage in large-scale solar system construction at a competitive price. System installation was quick and efficient resulting in lowered installation costs. The SunSeeker's robust design and construction combined with its low energy consumption ensures we are providing our clients with the best return on investment possible," said Mr. Hong Sung-min, President and CEO of S-Energy.

Construction of the project was completed in two phases and the entire 3 MW system took less than 3 months to build. The system is comprised of 17,136 S-Energy 175-MQ modules spanning 86,000 square meters, using only 12 drive motors to actuate the sections of the SunSeeker tracker.

"We were happy for this opportunity to expand the installed base of our Sunseeker tracker into international markets. Korea is clearly a growth region for the solar industry and we are honored to have partnered with Samsung and S-Energy on this project," stated Kris Jernstedt, Vice President, Sales and Marketing of TTI.
