The SOLYS Gear Drive dual axis sun tracker is an all-weather positioning platform used to point instruments at the movement of the sun in the sky. It is fully automated and does not require a computer or software for installation or operation. SOLYS gear transmission provides status information to monitor correct operation. SOLYSMonitor is a software program used to monitor and record this information, provided in conjunction with the Sun Tracker. The integrated GPS receiver automatically configures position and time data. Multi color LED indicates running status, and Ethernet ports allow software upgrades. An efficient belt transmission system does not require maintenance. The SOLYS Gear Drive features a sturdy cast aluminum casing and comes standard with a side panel. You can choose to install a second side panel to install an additional direct radiation meter. Two types of tripods can be used to integrate leveling feet. The sunshade component attachment includes a top mounting plate and allows the tracker to be configured as a complete solar monitoring station. SOLYS Gear Drive is not affected by internal clock drift as the time is updated by the GPS receiver. SOLYS Gear Drive is designed to provide reliable sun tracking for high loads (<80 kg). Its accuracy is very suitable for solar monitoring or meteorological applications that require high torque and precise tracking. The built-in power supply can accept both 24 VDC and 100 to 240 VAC power supplies, and can use DC voltage as a backup power source. SOLYS Gear Drive is an all-weather instrument that can provide ideal performance even in harsh climates (from the equator to polar regions). The built-in heater ensures that it can still operate when the external temperature drops to -50 ° C, but only for AC power operation. The sunshade can extend the temperature range from+55 ° C to+60 ° C. SOLYS Gear Drive has the advantages of high precision, high resolution, and repeatability.
