Actuator permits bigger solar panels

Linak's sturdy LA36 actuator has made it possible for German company Lorentz to increase the size of its solar panels from 18m2 to 22m2.

Lorentz wanted to minimise the need for maintenance on its solar tracking system, which had to be strong enough to function in all weathers.

The Linak LA36 actuator delivered more power to the solar tracking system, allowing panel size to be increased.
