Follow-up order of AE3000 for DEGERtraker 5000NT – Robust and high-yield technology is convincing
Horb a.N., February 19th, 2013. DEGER delivers 1,161 DEGERtraker 5000NT tracking systems to Spain. The customer is the Alternativa Energética 3000 (AE3000) company, which purchased and installed 3,100 DEGER systems in recent years. DEGER is world market leader in the field of solar tracking.
Between 2004 and 2008, AE3000 built several solar parks in Spain and installed altogether 3,100 DEGER systems there. In the following years the Spanish market lay almost desolate, due to the uncertainties regarding feed in tariff and political framework conditions. In the meantime, the projects applied for by AE3000 have started moving again. And: After many years of practical experience, the investor is highly satisfied with the yield as well as the robust, reliable technology from DEGER.
Satisfied to such an extent that he has now placed a large follow-up order: After delivering and installing 108 DEGERtrakers type 5000NT in late autumn 2012, AE3000 has now ordered further 1,053 systems. The first ones are already on the way; the rest are to be delivered until March. AE3000 will use them to build several new solar parks in the northern Spanish region of Catalonia near the city of Lleida.
Jordi Pellicer, Managing Director of AE3000: „The MLD tracking systems from DEGER are characterised by high yields and an excellent price/performance ratio. After these systems have been in operation in our parks for several years now, it is obvious: The technology works smoothly and is practically maintenance-free. Reason enough for us to build more solar parks with this technology.“
DEGER is world market leader in the field of solar tracking systems. More than 50,000 DEGER systems have been installed in 51 countries all over the world. The enterprise has branch offices in Spain, Greece and North America and cooperates with local sales and service partners in many countries around the globe. The patented MLD technology from DEGER provides the possibility to achieve on average a surplus yield of 45 percent in comparison to fixed systems.

About DEGER (www.DEGERenergie.com):
DEGER is the leading manufacturer with the world“s largest product portfolio for single and dual axis solar tracking systems. Its market position is based on the unique, patented „Maximum Light Detection“ or MLD technology developed by Artur Deger. This technology makes it possible to increase the yield of solar power plants through the use of „intelligent“ control. In this case the MLD sensor constantly aligns the connected solar modules with the point in the sky that provides the greatest energy. Thus solar systems guided with MLD achieve a 45 percent greater yield on average than fixed systems – during peak periods this value is even considerably higher. With more than 50,000 systems installed in 51 countries, DEGER is world“s market and technology leader. The company offers every solution relevant to the product – from development and planning to production and sales, all the way through to maintenance and repair.
Nearly 400 employees currently work for DEGER at the company“s headquarters in Horb, its branch offices and suppliers. The company was founded in 1999 and in 2001 it was distinguished with the Baden-Württemberg Inventors Award for the MLD sensor. In 2005 DEGER opened its first branch office in Spain, in 2009 branch offices followed in the USA and Greece, and in summer 2011 production began in Australia. DEGER produces in Germany, Australia, Canada and in the USA. The company“s business is managed by Artur Deger.
You can“t always rely on the weather – but on an intelligent control system from DEGER for sure.
