Advancements in solar tracking technology are revolutionizing the solar energy industry. IDEEMATEC is leading the way with its Horizon L:TEC® family of solar trackers, which combine innovative modular designs, advanced cable management systems, and integrated software solutions to optimize solar installations, improve performance, and open new opportunities across diverse settings.

Innovative Design Principles The Horizon L:TEC® trackers feature a revolutionary decoupled drive mechanism, which ensures exceptional flexibility and stability. The trackers are designed with fewer components per string, making them more efficient than conventional tracker technology. With a drive system that requires only seven motors per MW, these trackers maintain structural stability even in extreme weather conditions, achieving wind tunnel-tested stability in winds up to 400 km/h.

Key Features of Horizon L:TEC®:

  • Modular and Adaptable Design: Standardized components make the system easy to install and compatible with various project types. The L:TEC® trackers offer flexibility with a 60° tracking range, maximizing energy production from sunrise to sunset.
  • Advanced Cable Management System (ACMS): This tool-less system facilitates quick and secure cable installation, ensuring low operation and maintenance costs. It supports up to 16 polarity-isolated cables.
  • Multiple Variants: Available in 1P, 2P, and Agri PV versions, the trackers are tailored for different site needs, including agricultural, utility-scale, and complex terrain projects.

Technology-Driven Solutions IDEEMATEC’s integration of software solutions enhances project workflows from inception to commissioning:

  • ID-Terrain 3D: Aerial surveys and 3D modeling ensure that every project is customized for optimal performance.
  • THOR-Stow®: A protective software that monitors weather conditions and adjusts trackers to prevent damage from severe weather, enhancing system durability.
  • ID-AURORA: A software package that controls tracker positioning based on geographic data, ensuring the system is always aligned for peak energy output, and overrides tracking during adverse weather.

Future of Solar Tracking Technology The Horizon L:TEC® trackers are paving the way for solar energy projects by offering a combination of flexibility, efficiency, and adaptability. From Agri PV ventures to utility-scale solar farms, these trackers are designed to meet the unique needs of any project, ensuring scalability and maximizing energy production.

By integrating cutting-edge technology with intelligent software and flexible design, IDEEMATEC is driving the future of the photovoltaic industry.
