WATTPIC has its headquarter in Barcelona and disposes over a technology centre in Girona (Spain) and an international branch in Amsterdam (Netherlands).
The technical innovation in solar tracking of WATTPIC’s FSA TM System, based on the weather wane effect, allow our tracking systems to cope with the hardest wind conditions (over 155 km/h recorded).
This reliability has been demonstrated in the several MW of solar plants operating in Spain since 2007, in which there has been no single incident caused by strong winds yet, having experienced at the same time an average increase in production of 43% compared to the equivalents fixed installations. A confirmation of the resistance of our trackers, as well as an obvious benefit for our customers, is the fact that insurance premiums that apply to the installations based on our solar trackers are similar to those applied to fix solar installations.
In addition to the use o the weather wane effect, the design optimization of our systems reduce O&M costs by minimizing the risk of mechanical breakage and reduction of material fatigue.
Thanks to all these benefits, brought by WATTPIC’s proprietary technology, our customers succeed to reduce significantly the cost of solar generated kWh and maximize the rate of return from their solar plant investment.
