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

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

    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 – Standard + Wind Speed kit for solar module positioning control

    Dual-axis solar tracker controller designed to control the position of solar modules according to the direction of the sun. The kit includes an optical sun direction / light sensor and a wind speed sensor, making it suitable for automated photovoltaic structures where dual-axis rotation and real-time wind speed monitoring are required.

    Main idea:
    This controller helps the solar tracking system adjust the position of solar modules according to the direction of sunlight and provides additional wind speed monitoring. This is not a complete solar tracking system – motors, drives, construction, power supply, safety equipment, and a control cabinet are additionally required for module rotation.

    Operating principle

    The dual-axis solar tracker controller operates based on signals from an optical sun direction sensor. The sensor determines the direction of stronger solar illumination, and based on this data, the controller can operate actuators or gear motors that rotate the solar module structure in horizontal and vertical directions.

    The wind speed sensor included in the kit measures wind speed in real time. This information can be used for system safety logic, for example, to move modules to a safer position during stronger winds, if such functionality is provided in the controller settings and the specific system scheme.

    Why is the Standard + Wind Speed kit important?
    This kit is intended for systems that require automatic solar tracking and additional wind speed monitoring but do not require a remote control or limit switches, unless specified separately.

    Where is it used?

    • In small solar tracking systems – at home, in a farmhouse, or an outbuilding, when you want to automatically orient modules toward the sun.
    • In solar power plant installation work – as a control component for dual-axis solar tracking structures.
    • In electrical installation work – for connecting the controller, optical sensor, wind sensor, actuators, power supply, and safety equipment.
    • In engineering projects – when automatic solar tracking and an additional wind speed monitoring function are required.
    • On farms and industrial facilities – for solar module structures mounted in open areas, fields, or industrial territories.
    • In automation projects – for controlling actuators or gear motors based on sensor signals.

    Practical installation example

    For example, the controller is mounted in a sealed control box or electrical cabinet next to the dual-axis solar module structure. The optical sun direction sensor, wind speed sensor, actuators or gear motors, power supply, and necessary safety equipment are connected to the controller.

    The sun sensor sends information about the light direction, and the controller manages module movement based on the settings. Wind sensor data can be used for safety logic if the system is configured to move modules to a safer position during stronger winds.

    Pros

    • Includes a wind speed sensor – an important feature for solar tracking structures mounted in open areas.
    • Automatic dual-axis tracking – allows more accurate orientation of modules relative to the sun's position.
    • Optical control principle – the system reacts to the actual direction of sunlight.
    • Suitable for outdoor systems – relevant for farms, industrial territories, and open solar power plant structures.
    • Helps reduce wind risk – a properly configured system can use wind data for safety logic.
    • Integrated screen – allows viewing of system status, parameters, or settings according to specific instructions.
    • Control on the housing – settings can be adjusted directly via the controller's buttons.

    Cons / limitations

    • No remote control, unless specified in the specific kit.
    • No limit switches, unless specified in the specific kit.
    • Not a complete solar tracking system – motors, drives, construction, power supply, and safety equipment are additionally required.
    • Technical matching required – it is necessary to check compatibility with specific motors, drives, and power supply.
    • Requires technical knowledge for installation – connection and setup must be performed by a qualified professional.
    • The controller must be protected from environmental impact – it is recommended to mount it in a sealed electrical box or control cabinet.

    Safety and installation notes

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

    • The controller does not physically turn the modules itself – gear motors, actuators, or other mechanical movement elements are required for this.
    • Remote control and limit switches are not part of this kit unless specified otherwise.
    • Recommended to be mounted protected – 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 power circuit.
    • Wind sensor location is important – the anemometer must be mounted so that it actually measures wind speed and is not obstructed by the structure.
    • Testing is required after installation – check the movement of both axes, directions, limit positions, and wind protection logic.

    Quick selection guide

    Dual-axis solar tracker controller Standard + Wind Speed – a suitable choice when you need to automate solar module position control in two directions and additionally monitor wind speed. This kit is especially relevant for structures mounted in open areas where wind can affect module safety.
