Gear-Driven Dual-Axis Mechatron Tracker

How It Works

Four steps, start to finish -- no guessing what happens after you reach out.

01

Check your site's footprint

A dual-axis tracker needs open sky and one steel monopole footing -- we confirm your space can clear its full rotation before designing around it.

02

Panel count matched to the pole

Because the array follows the sun instead of sitting at a fixed angle, fewer panels on a single tracking pole can produce meaningfully more energy through the day than the same panel count fixed in place.

03

Pole foundation & permits

We handle the foundation engineering and any local permits for the monopole footing before installing the tracker mechanism.

04

Motors commissioned & storm-tested

We test the wind sensor's auto-stow response and the snow-shedding tilt before handing over a system that looks after itself in weather.

Mechatron Technical Specifications

Core engineering, component sizing, and hardware standards

Tracking MechanismDual-Axis GPS + Astronomical

Precision azimuth and elevation motors align panels 90° perpendicular to sun rays all day

Wind & Storm ProtectionAuto-Stow @ 55+ mph

Anemometer wind sensors automatically flatten tracker array horizontally in severe weather

Snow Shedding ModeAuto-Vertical Tilt @ 75°

Dump heavy winter snow accumulation automatically by tilting panels vertically

Land FootprintMinimal Ground Contact

Single heavy-duty steel monopole footing minimizes ground disturbance
