Having started production earlier this year, the trackers are produced according to OPA (Ontario Power Authority) standards and fulfill the requirements stated in Ontarios domestic content codes.
March 2011 already saw the founding of the Canadian subsidiary, sonnen systems Canada, Inc. with its headquarters in Vaughan, Ontario. This office, in close proximity to Toronto, handles all sales, technical support and the Academy, which educates and trains its future Certified Service Partners.
sonnen systems works exclusively with dedicated and competent partners for the professional installation of our reliable, first-rate products, states Jochen Marg, CEO of sonnen systems. Every prospective partner is instructed in the structural configuration, assembly and operation of the sonnen systems trackers during a two-day training course. Also covered in this course are the precise astronomical controls which were developed in an exclusive cooperation with SMA Solar
Technology and the very unique safety concept, the safeguard.
Sonnen systems has already sold more than 500 trackers in Ontario under the MicroFIT program and hopes to strengthen its market exposure and quality of service manifold.
New track_app brings significant PV savings ??Simultaneously, sonnen systems is excited to present the new iPhone and iPad-based track_app, which depicts output and yield data of PV systems in real time by remote access.
The trackers can be steered in to any desired position for analysis purposes such as monitoring motor currents and position angles. Operational costs are reduced considerably with this app, since many on-site visits in wide-ranging areas such as the Province of Ontario are no longer necessary.
