TRXONE™ successfully completes the rigid model wind tunnel testing with RWDI.

"Soletrax's technical team partnered with the prestigious company RWDI to test the TRXONE™ solution in their wind tunnel. TRXONE™ is a self-powered 1Vx60 single-axis solar tracker, equipped with dampers, a square rotation tube, brushless motor drive, and rotation module. The RWDI wind tunnel was used to obtain wind pressure coefficients in accordance with ASCE 7 and Eurocode EN 1991.1.4. The next step will be to study fluid-structure interaction (aeroelastic effects) manifested as self-excited forces. Thanks to the DNV team for their work and collaboration. "

The technical team at Soletrax has achieved a significant milestone by entering into a strategic collaboration with the prestigious company RWDI to advance the development of their revolutionary solution, TRXONE™, a solar tracking structure. This partnership promises to bring innovation and technical excellence to new heights in the field of solar energy. TRXONE™, a self-powered single-row 1Vx60 solar tracker, featuring various characteristics such as dampers, square pivot tube, brushless motor drive, and turning module, represents the cutting edge of technology in this ever-evolving sector.

Soletrax’s technical team’s decision to collaborate with RWDI demonstrates their commitment to quality and excellence at every stage of the product development process. By leveraging RWDI’s expertise and specialized knowledge, Soletrax is showing their determination to ensure that TRXONE™ is not only a market-leading solution but also a standard of excellence in the solar energy industry.

RWDI’s wind tunnel has become the perfect setting to test the TRXONE™ solution under extreme wind conditions. This step is essential for understanding and evaluating the dynamic behavior of TRXONE™ under a variety of climatic scenarios. The primary goal is to obtain accurate wind pressure coefficients according to ASCE 7 and Eurocode EN 1991.1.4 standards. This critical information will help Soletrax’s technical team further optimize the design of TRXONE™ and ensure its safety and optimal performance in the real world.

Fluid-structure interaction, also known as aeroelastic effects, is the next challenge facing Soletrax’s technical team in their pursuit of perfection. Studying these self-excited forces is crucial to understanding how TRXONE™ responds to dynamic conditions and how its design can be further improved to ensure stability and reliability in all circumstances. This in-depth analysis requires combining technical expertise, advanced resources, and a meticulous approach, all distinctive features of the Soletrax team.

The collaboration between Soletrax’s technical team and RWDI goes beyond mere data gathering. It is a strategic partnership that reflects both companies’ shared commitment to innovation and excellence in the field of sustainable energy. By working together, they are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in terms of solar system design and performance, paving the way for a more sustainable and energy-efficient future.

Furthermore, this partnership represents an exciting opportunity for Soletrax to expand its global presence and reach new markets worldwide. By partnering with an internationally renowned company like RWDI, Soletrax is strengthening its position as a leader in the solar energy industry and laying the groundwork for significant future growth.
