Colombia is currently undergoing an unprecedented energy transition. Driven by the Law 1715 of 2014 and updated by the Energy Transition Law 2099 of 2021, the nation is pivoting from hydro-dependency to a robust diversified renewable mix. For EPC contractors and utility developers, the challenge in Colombia isn't just generating power—it's maximizing the Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) in regions like La Guajira, which boasts some of the highest solar radiation levels in South America.
Tilted Single Axis Trackers (TSAT) represent the optimal middle ground for Colombia's specific geography. Unlike standard flat trackers, the tilted axis allows for better orientation toward the sun’s path at lower latitudes, significantly reducing cosine losses during peak and off-peak hours.
Globally, the solar tracker market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14%. While Dual-Axis systems provide the highest yield, Tilted Single Axis systems offer a superior ROI by balancing structural complexity with a 15-25% yield increase over fixed-tilt structures.
Shandong Zhaori New Energy leverages China’s unparalleled steel supply chain and robotic welding precision. Our factory produces 500MW monthly, ensuring that large-scale projects in Colombia receive hardware that is TUV certified and climate-tested.
Colombia's terrain is diverse, ranging from the arid plains of Cesar to the mountainous regions of Antioquia.
Shandong Zhaori New Energy Tech. Co., Ltd. is a high-tech and new energy company based on independent intellectual property rights. Founded in June 2012, our team focuses on photovoltaic power stations and solar tracking technology for more than 10 years. With 10 specialized departments including R&D, Quality Assurance, and Foreign Trade, we employ over 60 professional technology talents dedicated to solar innovation.
Our factory covers 50,000 square meters, equipped with CNC machine tools, laser cutting machines, automatic welding robots, and plasma machines. We manage the entire lifecycle: from raw material screening and cutting to anti-rust treatment and final inspection. We maintain strict compliance with quality management system certifications to serve the demanding Colombian industrial sector.
The transition toward Bifacial Modules is the most significant trend in the industry. Tilted Single Axis Trackers are uniquely positioned to maximize the "bifacial gain" by reducing structure-induced shading on the rear side of the modules. Furthermore, the integration of AI-driven backtracking algorithms ensures that even in cloudy conditions—common in Colombia’s Andean region—the trackers adjust to diffuse light rather than just direct sunlight.
Because Colombia is near the equator, a tilted axis (typically 10°-30°) helps capture more morning and evening radiation, increasing the total daily energy yield compared to a horizontal axis, especially during the rainy season when sunlight is more diffuse.
Our trackers are designed to withstand wind speeds up to 150km/h (stow position). For high-wind areas in La Guajira, we offer reinforced structures and dampers to ensure stability.
Yes, our 2P and tilted systems are specifically designed to accommodate large-format modules, with mounting heights optimized for maximum bifacial albedo gain.
All steel components undergo Hot-Dip Galvanization (HDG) or use high-performance Zn-Mg-Al coatings to ensure a 25-year lifespan in humid Colombian climates.
