The Solar Snow Fence in fully functioning single-axis solar tracker and snow fence in one structure.


Designed for year-round use, the Solar Snow Fence is designed to track the sun to maximize solar energy production.  When blowing and drifting snow conditions are present, the system will transition into snow fence position.  Integrated sensors and controls allow the Solar Snow Fence to operate autonomous.


The Solar Snow Fence is designed with utility, flexibility, ease, and durability in mind.

     

 UTILITY:

  • Fully functioning single-axis solar tracker
  • Rated at 750+ Watts (DC) per 10 linear feet (*assumes 12 foot height and 50% porosity)
  • Bifacial solar panels maximize energy capture
  • "Wyoming" snow fence design to capture and store blowing and drifting snow

FLEXIBLE USE:

  • Adjustable fence height, length, and porosity based on site needs
  • User set tracking limits and weather thresholds for snow fence operation
  • Integrated and expandable battery energy storage system
  • Power conversion equipment provide common electrical outputs
    • Single or 3 Phase, 60Hz
    • 120v, 208v, 240v, 277v, or 480v
  • Grid-connected, micro-grid, or off-grid operations


 EASY TO OPERATE: 

  • Once installed, the Solar Snow Fence is designed to operate autonomously
  • Maintenance requirements are minimal, with annual system inspections recommended
  • Self-adjusting tracking operations for fences not in north-south alignment
  • Seemlessly integrates with existing snow fence designs


DURABLE: 

  • Designed to operate in the most extreme weather conditions.
  • Wind speeds in excess of 120 miles per hour
  • Temperatures as low as -30o F
