Inside a Solar Tracker: The Tech Behind Sunlogix’s Dual-Axis Magic

At first glance, a solar tracker may just look like a motorized panel structure. But behind the scenes, it’s a finely tuned system of sensors, electronics, and safety logic — all working together to maximize your energy output.

At Sunlogix, we believe in full transparency. Here’s a peek under the hood of our dual-axis solar trackers, built specifically for Indian rooftops and open plots.

What Makes Our Tracker “Smart”?

Our dual-axis system doesn’t just move — it thinks, senses, and responds to the sun and its surroundings. Here’s how:

1. LDR Sensor-Based Sun Tracking

At the heart of our system is a quad-cell LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) module. It continuously compares light intensity from four directions (North, South, East, West).

If more light falls on the East sensor, the tracker moves East.

If light is evenly distributed, it stays still — perfect alignment.

This real-time adjustment happens every few seconds from sunrise to sunset.

Result? The panel always faces the sun — maximizing energy harvest throughout the day.

2. Motorized Dual-Axis Movement

The tracker uses two separate drives:

Azimuth Motor (East–West): Follows the horizontal sun path.

Elevation Motor (Tilt Adjustment): Tracks the sun’s height across seasons.

Both axes are precisely controlled using limit switches and timers to ensure smooth motion and protection against over-rotation.

3. Wind Mode Safety System

High wind? No problem.

Our controller includes a wind protection algorithm:

When wind exceeds preset thresholds (measured via sensor or manually enabled), the system automatically flattens the tracker to reduce drag.

Once normal conditions resume, tracking resumes safely.

This ensures long system life and protection during storms or cyclones — especially critical in Indian coastal regions.

4. Limit Switch & Sensor Protection

We include electromechanical limit switches on both axes:

Prevent over-tilt or over-rotation

Help calibrate the system daily

Reduce wear and tear

Every tracker also includes manual override capability — perfect for service teams and diagnostics.

5. Real-Time Monitoring (Optional)

With our smart controller, you can enable:

Live panel position tracking

Motor status and energy data

Alerts for faults, wind mode, and stuck movements

Coming soon: Mobile app integration and cloud sync for advanced analytics.
