skf（www.skf.com) has announced that its Solar Linear Actuator-CASD-60 helps reduce CO2 emissions by raising a solar panel’s energy production by 5.8 MWh/year.
Based on a world power grid mix CO2 factor of 0.749 kg CO2/kWh, this translates to a reduction per solution of 4.4 tons of CO2 per year. Unlike rigid PV solar panel systems, the solar linear actuators increase power generation by 15 percent, on average.
“利用可再生能源是减少二氧化碳的最有效解决方案之一，”太阳能SKF可再生能源的全球细分市场经理Mahdi Sebti说。
“ SKF的高级机电技术可改善当今维护密集型解决方案，并通过整天和整个季节准确跟踪太阳的位置，从而提供高性能，准确性和效率。”
The figures are applicable for 58 sq m panels equipped with an SKF Solar Linear Actuator, CASD-60. The results may vary depending on the size of the panel. Larger panel yields more environmental benefit since the actuator’s production and waste treatment does not significantly affect the results.
A part of the BeyondZero Portfolio product, the solar linear actuators seamlessly combine robust design, virtually maintenance free-operation, easy installation and reduced downtime to effectively reduce solar power generation costs while increasing profitability and productivity.
Specifically developed for 20-year service life, the CASD-60 solar linear actuators can withstand severe outdoor environments and are ideally suited for use in photovoltaics, concentrating solar power systems or concentrating photovoltaics.
