FAQs

What is the function of the torque tube in the solar tracking system?

Torque tube is a key component in solar tracking system. It is connected to all photovoltaic modules to ensure the synchronous tracking of the sun’s movement. By moving the panel against bending and torsional forces, energy is better captured.

What shapes and coatings are available for torque tubes?

Torque tubes are usually coated with galvanized layers, round, square, octagonal and D-shaped shapes. Different types of torque tubes have different characteristics. PandaPipe offers you a wide range of shapes and coatings to suit your project needs.

Can torque tubes increase energy efficiency?

The torque tube is critical in minimizing the incidence Angle between the incident light and the solar panel. If you install a new device using solar panels, you must have a new type of panel that is strong enough. By tracking the movement of the sun, the panel will significantly increase the energy generated, so that your solar system can run more efficiently.

What is the torque tube manufacturing and machining ？

PandaPipe uses cutting-edge CNC machinery to manufacture torque tubes. It has the characteristics of high degree of automation, high precision and high efficiency. Drilling, expanding, tapering, forging, reducing, crimping or end forming can be performed with high production efficiency to provide you with a better product.
