Design efficiency is an obsession

Our engineers are challenging. They question every component; “Why is that needed?” How could it be cheaper?”

Fast facts

  • simple, optimised microprocessor based system
  • no site-specific data required – works wherever it is placed
  • software handles ‘real-world’ conditions
  • drive systems based on proven automotive motor solutions

Two-axis tracker

Simple positioning - superior performance.

Whitfield Solar's revolutionary tracking system is the result of decades of practical experience.

Its in-built intelligence equips it to cope with real-world conditions such as bright edged clouds and the microprocessor-based tracking system drives two separate motor circuits that control each axis of movement. This highly optimised system requires no pre-programming or site-specific data – just position and go!

Unlike many alternative PV units that employ expensive and heavy hydraulics, Whitfield's integrated tracking unit uses small electric motors. These have proven long-term durability and reliability thanks to their more common use in car window-winder systems. 'Closed-loop' tracking means the system will continue to align with the sun even if the ground subsides or there is movement in the roof-mounting frame.
