Tracking systems

Get the most out of the sun

Use sun tracking systems efficiently to increase your yield.

Back to Ground-mounted systems

Your advantages

Quick startup via web browser and function block libraries
Remote access to your tracking park via Ethernet or a mobile communication network
Ideal, motor-driven alignment of your photovoltaic panels by means of solar altitude calculations

Drive control

Small-scale controller in the application

Controllers for the exact alignment of photovoltaic trackers

Small-scale controllers with an integrated Modbus interface are ideal for controlling tracking systems.

Step motor drivers and frequency inverters can be connected directly without any additional modules. Analog or incremental input channels are available for position detection.

Tracking

Durable motor starters ideal for tracking

The hybrid motor starter offers four functions for tracking the photovoltaic panels: forward running, reverse running, motor protection, and emergency stop.

In comparison to mechanical contactors, the motor starter is significantly more durable, saves space, and can be quickly wired.

Function block libraries

Complex function blocks for solar altitude calculation

Phoenix Contact provides a comprehensive library with complete function blocks. This includes, among other features, complex blocks with DIN/NREL algorithms for solar altitude calculation and for monitoring the photovoltaic trackers.

This ensures that the photovoltaic panels are always aligned perfectly with the sun at any time of the day or year and provide maximum yield.
