Rocking Solar utilizes proven single axis technologies modified for rooftop applications which improves efficiency and reduces capital cost by estimated 22% compared to today’s leading roof systems for the same daily energy production.
How Does Rocking Solar Benefits Compare to Fixed Tilt Systems?
VS
Single Axis Sun Trackers Increases Yield by 30%
Tracking enables bi facial panels which increases Yield by >15% on white rooftops
Half the number of panels for the same daily production reduces weight to less than 3 PSF
0.5 GCR provides space for cleaning panels and maintenance
Patented wind sensing solution moves panels into wind reducing risk of uplift or damage
Rocker + Torque Tubes + 4 Mounted Panels are portable in case of roof repair
