Solar tracker

Control of solar tracker is fully automated. According to the internal clock, the motor corrects its position at adjustable time intervals and in this way traces the sun. The area of motor motion is about 100 degrees, therefore the motor starts tracing the sun at 8 solar hours and stops at 16 solar hours. Outside this time the motor is at a standstill, except at 23 hours, when it turns to its initial position and in this way waits for the sun in the East.

With precise fitting you can achieve that the motor ensures the perpendicular tracing of the sun by the solar cell throughout 8 hours.

In normal, average conditions the motor works with any solar cell up to 0.6m2 and/or 2m2, depending on the model. The solar cell should not be too heavy, exposed to hurricanes or large quantities of wet snow. In addition to the weight, when choosing a larger solar cell you have to be especially careful that fixing to the motor shaft is done as close as possible to the solar cell surface and you have to ensure that the solar cell is fitted as close as possible to the centre of gravity. If all of these conditions are fulfilled, the motor will work flawlessly even with a solar cell with the largest possible surface, as indicated in the instructions for a particular model.

The internal clock will run even if there is no energy. This is taken care of by the internal back-up battery (3V lithium battery).

Motor can also be fitted to an existing pole on the roof or to a wall holder with an as short as possible horizontal handle.

There are many types of solar trackers, of varying costs, sophistication, and performance. Sat Control d.o.o. is an international developer and producer of solar trackers, precisely tailored to customer's requirements.

Solar trackers may be active or passive and may be single axis or dual axis. Single or dual axis Solar Trackers are suitable for PV panels, concentrators - CPV, heliostats and can be used at homes: on-grid at roof on houses, trafic signalisations, street light, cottages, small and large powerplants where solar panels are connected in serial and output is connected directly to inverter or an external charging device. In a Year basis with 2 axis motor you can get 7% more income of energy compared to single axis motor.
