  • Dual-axis solar tracking controller | with optical sun sensor, anemometer and remote control | for solar panel rotation control

    Code: ES-SSTC-2AX-WIND-RC

    Dual-axis solar tracking controller with wind speed sensor and remote control – an automation device designed to control the position of solar modules according to the direction of the sun. The controller is used in solar tracking structures where the modules can be moved in two directions – horizontally and vertically. This model includes not only an optical sun direction sensor, but also a wind speed sensor / anemometer and a remote control. This allows the system not only to track the position of the sun, but also to monitor wind conditions and control the structure more conveniently in manual mode.

    Dual-Axis Solar Tracker Controller – with Optical Solar Sensor, Anemometer, and Remote Control

    The dual-axis solar tracker controller is designed to manage solar module rotation systems based on the sun's position. The included optical solar sensor helps detect light direction, the anemometer allows for wind speed monitoring, and the remote control provides convenient manual system management. This is a control solution for photovoltaic structures, solar tracking systems, and automation projects.

    Main idea:
    This controller helps the solar tracking system determine which side has stronger solar illumination and manages the module rotation in two directions accordingly. The system can be used in conjunction with actuators, gear motors, and mechanical solar module structures.

    Operating Principle

    The dual-axis solar tracker controller operates based on signals from the optical solar sensor. The sensor determines which side has stronger solar illumination, and based on this data, the controller can operate actuators or gear motors that rotate the solar module structure horizontally and vertically.

    The included wind speed sensor measures wind speed in real-time. According to the controller settings, this information can be used for system protection against strong winds, such as moving modules to a safer position, if such functionality is specified in the controller manual.

    Why is a dual-axis solar tracking system useful?
    Dual-axis tracking allows for changing the position of solar modules in two directions – horizontally and vertically. This helps to orient the modules more precisely toward the sun throughout the day and in different seasons. Such a system is particularly relevant when you want to maximize the utilization of solar illumination and automate module position adjustment.

    Where is it used?

    • In solar tracking systems – when solar modules need to automatically change position according to the sun's direction.
    • In photovoltaic structures – for controlling dual-axis module rotation mechanisms.
    • On farms and open areas – where automatic control and monitoring of wind conditions are important.
    • In automation projects – for integrating actuators, gear motors, and sensors into the control system.
    • In solar power plant installation works – for system testing, adjustment, and manual control via remote.

    Practical installation example

    For example, the controller is installed near the solar tracker structure or in a control cabinet. An optical solar direction sensor, a wind speed sensor, actuators or gear motors, and the power supply circuit are connected to it. The solar sensor monitors the light direction, and the controller sends control signals to the module rotation mechanism based on the settings.

    The remote control allows for manually testing the movement of modules, changing the position, or checking the system after installation. This is convenient during startup, adjustment, and maintenance.

    Pros

    • Dual-axis control – allows managing solar module position in two directions.
    • Optical solar tracking – the controller orients itself according to the sun's light direction.
    • Wind speed measurement – a useful feature for solar structures in open locations.
    • Remote control – convenient for testing, adjusting, and maintaining the system.
    • Integrated screen – allows monitoring the status, parameters, or settings according to the specific manual.
    • On-board control – primary actions can be performed directly via the controller buttons.
    • Suitable for automation projects – can be used with actuators, gear motors, and control cabinets.

    Cons / limitations

    • Not a full solar tracking system – motors, actuators, structure, power supply, and safety equipment are required additionally.
    • Technical coordination required – compatibility with specific motors and actuators must be verified.
    • Technical knowledge required for installation – connection and setup must be performed by a qualified specialist.
    • Controller protection from environmental impact is required – it is recommended to install it in a sealed electrical box or control cabinet.
    • Wind protection operation depends on settings – the safe position must be properly configured according to the specific system.

    Safety and installation notes

    The dual-axis solar tracker controller is an automation control component; therefore, before installation, it is necessary to assess the compatibility of actuators, motors, power supply, safety devices, cables, and mechanical structure.

    • The controller does not physically rotate the modules itself – this requires gear motors, actuators, or other mechanical movement elements.
    • Installation under protection is recommended – in a control box, electrical panel, or sealed housing, protecting from rain, dust, UV, and mechanical damage.
    • Before connection, it is necessary to check the controller manual, actuator parameters, and the power circuit.
    • Wind sensor location is important – the anemometer must be mounted so it can actually measure wind speed and not be obstructed by the structure.
    • Testing is required after installation – check the movement of both axes, limit positions, manual control, and wind protection logic.

    Quick selection guide

    Dual-axis solar tracker controller with optical solar sensor, anemometer, and remote control – a suitable choice when you need to automate solar module position management in two directions, monitor wind speed, and have the ability to control the system manually via remote.
