Harness Every Ray of Sunlight with Precision Tracking

What Is Solar Tracker?

A solar tracker is a device that follows the sun’s daily path — from sunrise in the east to sunset in the west — ensuring photovoltaic (PV) panels are always oriented toward maximum sunlight. This constant alignment significantly enhances energy output.

The TRAXLE Solar Tracker is designed with robust materials like aluminum profiles and stainless steel, ensuring strength and durability.

Key Features of TRAXLE Solar Tracker:
  • Built around an inclined aluminum or stainless-steel pipe aligned north–south.
  • PV panels are fixed on arms extending from this pipe.
  • Inside the pipe, a DC motor with a worm gear rotates the tracker.
  • The motor is autonomously powered by a small, dual-sided PV module at the pipe base.
  • The tracker rotates toward whichever side of the module is lit by the sun, ensuring constant orientation.
  • Protected by two international patents for innovation and reliability.
