The two 2.2kW solar tracker systems generate approximately 30% more electricity than a fixed axis system of the same size since the PV panels follow the movement of the sun throughout the day. This system supplements the power requirements of the visitors centre and conference rooms. This system was installed by Solarmetrics and the project was managed by Grey Green.
