Solar laboratory:

In this laboratory there are 4 solar trackers with a capacity of 4 panels, two of them in a double tracker and the other two in simple trackers. Of the three existing trackers two of them are solar trackers with a single axis and the third solar tracker with two axis. It also exists an automatic system of solar tracking. Here they validate it with a solar exposure of the prototype panels from the tests realized in the laboratories mentioned before.
