A Hyderabad-based solar tracking technology solution provider is seeking to spread awareness about the advantages of using solar water pumps fitted with their technology.
Smart Trak has sold close to 100 solar water pump sets with their solar tracking technology, which promises to increase the water flow by 75 per cent, when compared to conventional solar water pumps.
“Increased amount of water will enable farmers to grow three crops instead of two in a year. In the next two years, we hope to sell 1,000 solar water pumps fitted with tracking systems. We have received certification from Non-renewable Energy Development Corporation (NEDCAP) and Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) for our tracking system pump sets,” says Smart Trak’s CEO G. Bhagawan Reddy.
The company officials told reporters on Wednesday that solar trackers maximise the amount of incoming light by following the sun as it moves across the sky.
“Conventional solar panels face the sun all day in only one angle. However, solar trackers enable movement of solar panels by following the direction of the sun. This increases the amount of incoming sunlight,” explains Smart Trak’s COO Naveen Tadpatri.
Smart Trak officials claim there is not much of a difference in price between the two kinds of pump sets.
“We have made sure the cost of the traditional solar pump sets and ours are the same. Moreover, we also offer remote monitoring feature where through cell phones, users can check the performance of their pump sets,” they say. For details, visit www.smarttrak.in or call 6559-9900.
