Riyadh is no longer just the political capital; it is the heartbeat of Saudi Arabia's energy transition. Under the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP), the Kingdom aims to achieve a generation mix of 50% renewable energy by 2030. The Riyadh market is witnessing a massive influx of investment in utility-scale and commercial solar farms. However, the unique geographical challenges—extreme temperatures reaching 50°C, intense UV radiation, and frequent sandstorms—require tracking technology that goes beyond "standard" specifications.
For the latitude of Riyadh (approx. 24.7° N), a Tilted Single Axis Tracker offers the optimal balance between cost and energy gain. Unlike standard flat trackers, the TSAT allows for a fixed tilt (usually 10° to 30°) while tracking the sun's azimuth. This configuration can capture up to 15%–25% more energy than fixed-tilt structures, significantly lowering the LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) for local industrial players.

Our Tilted Single Axis Trackers are specifically engineered for the Riyadh Industrial City and surrounding desert regions. We focus on four core technical pillars:
Integrated "Stow Mode" during sandstorms and compatibility with robotic dry-cleaning systems to prevent abrasive damage.
Designed to withstand wind speeds of up to 240km/h, exceeding the Saudi Building Code (SBC 301) requirements for the Central Region.
Electronic controllers and actuators rated for +85°C, ensuring zero downtime during Riyadh's peak summer heat.
Our proprietary algorithms account for diffuse light during dusty days, maximizing yield even when the sun is obscured.

Shandong Zhaori New Energy Tech. Co., Ltd. is a high-tech pioneer in the solar tracking industry. Founded in June 2012, we have dedicated over a decade to the R&D of photovoltaic power stations and intelligent tracking technology.
Our factory spans 50,000 square meters and is equipped with:
Our products include stationary brackets, adjustable PV brackets, flat single axis tracking systems, tilted single axis tracking systems, and dual axis tracking systems. We hold invention patents from the European Patent Office, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and more.
Our core principle: "More Simple, More Reliable, More Effective." This simplicity is key for Riyadh projects where ease of maintenance reduces long-term operational costs.
Optimized for high-temp stability and sand resistance.
Maximizing ROI via inclined module technology.
Lightweight, high-strength mounting for industrial facilities.
Standard orders typically ship within 4-6 weeks from our factory. We coordinate with major logistics hubs in Jeddah and Dammam to ensure smooth delivery to Riyadh sites.
Yes. Our engineering team calculates wind and seismic loads specifically based on Riyadh's regional data (SBC 301), ensuring structural integrity for 25+ years.
The tilted design actually aids in natural sand shedding. Additionally, we provide compatibility interfaces for both manual and automated cleaning robots widely used in Saudi projects.
Absolutely. We specialize in bespoke engineering. Use our inquiry button below to provide your site coordinates and soil report for a preliminary design and quote.
The next frontier for the Riyadh market is the integration of Bifacial PV Modules with Tilted Single Axis Trackers. By increasing the albedo effect (reflection from the desert sand), TSAT systems can boost the rear-side energy production by an additional 5-10%. Our structures are optimized to minimize shading on the rear of the modules, unlocking the full potential of N-Type and PERC bifacial technology. Partner with us to lead the renewable revolution in Saudi Arabia.
