New Design Of Dual Axis Solar Tracker For Vehicle Roof

In today’s society, more and more people like to travel by car in their leisure time, relax and enjoy the scenery of nature. However, the biggest problem with driving trips is the lack of electricity. For this purpose, BOFU designed and manufactured a dual axis solar tracker for vehicle roof.

Auto Tracking

Follow Sun In Realtime

The solar tracker for vehicle roof was mounted on vehicle roof, it equipped with slewing drive and linear actuator, which can bring the solar panels rotate horizontally and pitch moving by the axis, tracking the sun automatically in real time to make the sunlight perpendicular to the solar panel as much as possible, to achieve the maximum light intensity and improve the efficiency of power generation.

Light Sensor

Auto Tracking By Light Sensor

The bracket tracking the sun with light sensors, which will detect the light intensity of different area of the solar panels, and find the right angle to receive the most light, so to improve the generation rate.

 
Note: The light sensor only works when there is sufficient sun light, when there is not adequate sunlight, and not worth to
track, the tracker will not moving until sunshine again.
Aluminum Profile

Light Weight Bracket

The main parts of bracket was made from aluminum profile, which is strong enough to firmly hold the big solar panels of 2384*1303*35mm, and also light weight, fit to mount on the vehicle roof.

Linear Actuator

Big Thrust Motor

The linear actuator brings the panels do up and down moving, the pitch angle is 0° to 60°, the maximum pushing thrust is 3000N,
guarantee the solar tracker works well even in windy weather.

Low Height

Low Height Tracker

The solar tracker was designed only 215mm height, to reduce the wind force when driving the car, so to reduce the energy lost and guarantee safety of the system.
