Solar Tubes
Welded steel structural hollow sections for solar tracker applications
Having well over 100 years experience in manufacturing welded structural hollow sections for many different market segments, Tata Steel Nederland Tubes also is specialized in manufacturing a range of torque tubes and piling tubes for solar tracker applications.
Solar trackers are systems that align solar modules with the path of the sun and thus maximise solar collection throughout the day. Compared to permanently installed modules, solar trackers increase efficiency by up to 40%. Our steel tubes play a vital role in building the mounting systems and supporting structures.
