This solar tracking linear actuator application is part of the Samarkand 1 Solar + Energy Storage Project in the Samarkand region of Uzbekistan. The project is planned to include a 500 MW solar PV system together with a supporting battery energy storage system (BESS), making it one of the region’s large-scale renewable energy projects.

TOMUU supported part of the project’s solar tracking system with U20 Series solar linear actuators and U21A solar dampers, addressing the long-term outdoor operating requirements of a large-scale PV project.

Large-scale solar tracking systems are expected to operate outdoors for extended periods and may be exposed to high temperatures, wind, sand, and other demanding environmental conditions. The selection of linear actuators and supporting components therefore focused on:

TOMUU supplied industrial linear actuators for part of a utility-scale solar tracking project in Saudi Arabia with a total installed capacity of approximately 3,000 MW.
As one of the actuator suppliers involved in the project, TOMUU delivered multiple batches of industrial linear actuators for single-axis solar tracking systems. The project site is exposed to high temperatures, strong sunlight, dust, and wind throughout the year, placing high demands on actuator reliability for long-term outdoor operation.

The project required stable product quality, flexible production scheduling, and reliable deliveries aligned with different stages of construction. As the installation schedule changed, production and shipment plans also needed to be adjusted to maintain a consistent supply throughout the project.

Based on the project requirements, TOMUU provided an application solution combining U20 Series solar linear actuators with U21A solar dampers.

U20 Series Solar Linear Actuators

• Suitable for single-axis solar tracking systems
• High static load capacity
• IP66 protection
• Suitable for long-term outdoor operation

U21A Solar Dampers

• Used together with U20 Series actuators
• Help improve overall system stability
• Suitable for large-scale solar tracking projects

As large-scale solar projects continue to develop, solar tracking systems place increasingly demanding reliability requirements on critical actuation components.
TOMUU has been serving the solar tracking industry since 2017, providing linear actuator and damper application support for solar projects worldwide. The company continues to optimize product performance according to different project requirements, supporting the long-term, stable operation of solar tracking systems.
