Precisely align with the sun and automatically track changes in light all day long

SAUT fully automatic tracking system 1

Solution introduction

With the increasing demand for solar monitoring accuracy, the SAUT fully automatic dual-axis solar tracking system came into being. This is a highly integrated, intelligently controlled, all-weather solar automatic tracking platform that can achieve accurate positioning and tracking of various solar radiation sensors. It is widely used in meteorological observation, photovoltaic station monitoring, scientific research institutes and environmental radiation measurement projects.

The SAUT system uses GPS satellite positioning to synchronize time and position, eliminating internal clock errors; it uses high-sensitivity optical tracking technology and intelligent drive systems, and can continue to operate stably even in bad weather and uneven ground.

System highlights

Automatically track the sun's trajectory around the clock

GPS accurately locates time and geographic information

Supports a variety of solar radiation measurement sensors

Tracking principle description (simplified description)

SAUT uses two sets of vertical rotation axes to adjust the platform orientation in real time.

When the sunshine conditions are good, the system automatically captures the position of the sun spot with the help of the tracking tube; when it is cloudy or the light is insufficient in the early morning/dusk, it automatically switches to program control mode, calculates the sun position through the time angle model, and ensures all-weather tracking.
