Profitable solar power for companies with high electricity consumption

Solar tracking systems rotate solar panels to follow the sun throughout the day, significantly increasing electricity production, especially during the more valuable morning and evening hours. Solar trackers are already standard for ground-mounted solar energy built closer to the equator, but the technology used there is not effective further from the equator where the sun moves across the sky in a lower arc. VajaTrack is the world’s first truly cost-effective vertical solar tracking system and is optimized for European latitudes.

Vaja’s smart vertical solar tracking system rotates the solar panels so they follow the sun all day. Across European latitudes, the system produces up to 80% more electricity than roof-mounted panels and 25-35% more than fixed ground-mounted panels facing south. And the revenue is often even higher because the production increase is greatest during the more valuable morning and evening hours.

Horizontal solar trackers rotate the solar panels around a horizontal axis, while vertical solar trackers have the panels mounted at a steep angle that rotates around a vertical axis. VajaTrack is a vertical solar tracker system.

This means that horizontal solar trackers are very efficient near the equator where the sun moves in a high arc across the sky, while vertical solar trackers are most efficient further from the equator where the sun moves in a lower arc.

The threshold where vertical solar trackers produce more electricity than horizontal ones is at the 30° latitude.

Compared with fixed-mounted solar panels on the ground or on rooftops, the savings and revenue with a Vaja solar tracker system are often 40–100% higher.

Batteries are today an obvious part of a good solar power solution. The batteries store electricity from when the solar panels produce the most in the middle of sunny days and feed the electricity back during other times of the day and on cloudy days. In addition, grid services can contribute additional revenue.

Vaja is a Swedish product company that has developed a new patented solar tracking technology. Our product targets a global market, but initially, we primarily offer the solution in Sweden. We deliver complete solutions to our customers, but we differentiate ourselves from other solar energy companies with our unique, proprietary technology, which is key to more profitable solar power.

It depends on your specific conditions based on your electricity consumption, power demand, and investment budget. Our advisors help you analyze your specific conditions.

A smart solar tracking system on the ground is almost always more profitable than fixed-mounted solar panels on rooftops. In addition, you are not limited by the roof’s load-bearing capacity, size, or angle, or need to worry about what happens during future roof maintenance. But of course, it requires that you have some land available. Our advisors can help with an analysis and comparison for your specific conditions.

Yes, with a smart solar tracking system, battery storage, and self-consumption of electricity, solar power is generally a robust and profitable investment today.

The solar tracking system significantly increases electricity production, the battery storage increases self-consumption by storing solar energy in the middle of the day and discharging during other times of the day, and grid services can contribute additional revenue. There may also be additional savings with reduced power fees or smaller main fuses.

We offer a strong service agreement where we take full responsibility for the operation and monitoring of your facility to ensure it performs optimally at all times. The only thing you need to do is mow the grass once a year.
