Our controller communications seamlessly integrate with sensors and connections for precise monitoring and real-time adjustments. With GameChange Solar software and controls, you achieve superior performance, security, and ease of use.
Higher Power Production
Genius Tracker combines sensors, weather forecasting, and smart algorithms to increase energy generation
One key to Genius Tracker's success is its high power performance, which is driven by our power-enhancing software algorithms and validated by third-party analysts.
GameChange Solar's control logic strategies PowerBoost™, SmartStow™, and WeatherSmart™ combine sensors, weather forecasting, and smart algorithms to increase energy generation for both new and existing solar power plants. What sets us apart is our iterative, project-specific approach to software optimization, ensuring improved output and adaptation to the site-specific conditions, making it a future-proof solution for your solar power needs, and ensuring maximum efficiency.
GameChange Solar's proprietary algorithm is a game-changer in enhancing solar plant production during backtracking. It prevents row-to-row shading and automatically adjusts the target tracking angle to optimize energy production based on site topography data. This algorithm, designed for our distributed row tracker, ensures that you are getting the best solar plant technology.
5.19%
PowerBoost
PowerBoost™ demonstrates gains of 5.49% yearly (dependent on the site topography)
With its wind-stow method, the Genius Tracker™ control logic prioritizes both safety and energy optimization. SmartStow rotates the tracker tables to a stow position where they are most robust and can withstand design wind events. The control logic employs an innovative strategy for stow, adjusting rotation angles as wind speeds increase to maximize efficiency and track the sun longer than other stow strategies without compromising safety, ensuring your peace of mind and the reliability of your solar power plant.
3.15%
SmartStow
SmartStow™ estimates gains of up to 3.15% over a 45-degree stow and 0.73% over a 0-degree stow.
On days with thick, long-lasting cloud cover, our WeatherSmart algorithm maximizes energy production by turning modules flat, allowing them to absorb more light when it is scattered through the cloud layer.
6.02%
WeatherSmart
WeatherSmart™ shows gains of 6.02% during overcast days
