SunLink TechTrack Distributed Achieves ETL Certification to UL 3703 Standard
Independent review by Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory
validates SunLink’s commitment to meeting the highest safety,
reliability and quality standards
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#SPICon–SOLAR POWER INTERNATIONAL – SunLink
Corporation, a leading full-scope solar energy solutions provider,
announced today that its TechTrack
Distributed single axis tracker is now ETL certified to the UL 3703
standard. This certification was secured after independent review and
rigorous safety testing by Intertek
to meet the industry’s highest standards for solar tracking system
functions with regard to risk for electrical, mechanical and fire
hazards. Intertek, a Total Quality Assurance provider, is a Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory approved by the U.S. federal agency
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Last year TechTrack Distributed achieved its ETL classification to UL
2703, which required rigorous safety testing such as humidity and
temperature cycling to ensure all components remain properly bonded in
outdoor environments. The recent testing to UL 3703 included a complete
construction evaluation of the system and performance testing to ensure
safe operation. TechTrack Distributed’s maximum system voltage of 1500V
is also covered by the UL 3703 certification.
“TechTrack Distributed is the most technologically-advanced tracker on
the market today designed to maximize generation potential,” said
Michael Maulick, president and chief executive officer of SunLink.
“Attaining certification to the UL 3703 standard is testament to our
engineering heritage and prowess that created the industry’s most
advanced tracker system combining structural, electrical, mechanical and
software applications.”
Central to TechTrack Distributed’s system innovation is a dynamic design
feature called Dynamic Stabilization. Beyond simply adjusting tilt,
SunLink’s TechTrack Distributed incorporates real-time control over the
damping and stiffness of the array, opening a completely new solution
space for increasing energy output, maintaining structural integrity and
lowering cost.
In addition, TechTrack Distributed solves the challenge associated with
monitoring the thousands of distributed trackers with SunLink’s VERTEX
Project Intelligence Platform. VERTEX enables next-generation data
monitoring and secure remote control, which provides greater visibility
into energy assets, historical data collection and more efficient O&M —
resulting in more valuable energy projects.
