DEGERenergie reports continued success in the U.S. market. Currently, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, based company Convergence Energy LLC is setting up a solar farm with a total output of approximately 1 megawatt. For this project, a total of 114 MLD tracking systems of the DEGERtraker 6000NT are deployed (MLD = Maximum Light Detection). With more than 45,000 systems installed worldwide, DEGERenergie is the global market leader for solar tracking systems.
15 solar systems developed in Horb, Germany, have already been set up at the new solar farm in Delavan, Wisconsin. Another 99 will be following in the next weeks. Thanks to the patented MLD technology from DEGERenergie, the U.S. full service provider of solar energy equipment plans to achieve a considerable increase in yield for itself and its customers, which would not be possible with conventional technologies.
What makes the project in Delavan, Wisconsin, so special is the innovative marketing strategy of Convergence Energy: The company creates system packages with 3 systems each and offers their yield over 10 years for sale. Thanks to this concept, the operator lowers the investment threshold and therefore pushes the development of the solar power market. This distribution of cost and yield on several investors makes it possible for them to set up considerably more solar projects in shorter time than a single company could manage. The systems remain property of Convergence Energy and – as the initiator of the project – after 10 years, they will also profit from their yield.
John Kivlin, board member of Convergence Energy: „There are several important reasons why we have decided to deploy systems developed by DEGERenergie. First of all, we have received excellent feedback from customers and investors who use DEGERenergie systems about the yield and correspondingly about the „return on investment“. Secondly, we appreciate the highly resistant and reliable technology from Germany. We expect low maintenance costs, a long service life of our tracking systems and high yields in the long run.“
DEGERenergie was founded in 1999 by Artur Deger and today is the world market leader in solar tracking systems. The company is represented in Spain, Greece and North America with its own subsidiaries. Currently, DEGERenergie is greatly expanding its business activities in the United States to meet the growing demand. Besides the expansion of its sales and service network, this also includes a further increase in production capacities. Worldwide, more than 45,000 DEGERenergie systems are installed in over 40 countries. The patented DEGERenergie Maximum Light Detection (MLD) technology makes it possible to improve the energy yield of solar power plants by up to 45 percent compared to rigid systems.

With the DEGERconecter, the solar modules are thus always aligned according to the brightest position in the sky with the highest energy yield. This way, the overall energy yield of solar power plants with MLD tracking is up to 45 percent higher than that of rigid systems and this difference is even more pronounced for peaks. With more than 45,000 systems installed in more than 40 countries, DEGERenergie is the global technological market leader. The company offers its customers all product related solutions – from the development and planning, production and sales to maintenance and service.
