Decoupling the drive motor from the main carrier relieves the drive train of mechanical loads and minimizes the required power, making L:TEC significantly more efficient than all conventional drives.
In the base configuration, the decoupled drive uses one drive sprocket per string to create mechanical stability points for the main beams. Our engineers can use additional drive sprockets to configure the 1P and 2P variants for extreme stability. Carefully calculating the most robust design requirements, our design team produces a project tracker design with significantly lower mechanical stresses on panels and trackers while maintaining the smallest possible carbon footprint.
With Horizon L:TEC, careful design means fewer total components per string without compromising structural stability in extreme weather conditions.
The drive sprocket design allows for a wide range of motion with up to 60 degrees of inclination. Having such a high inclination capability means your project will make more power earlier and later in the day when paired with our smart backtracking algorithm.
Our decoupled drive system means fewer total components per string plus uncompromising structural stability in extreme weather conditions.
Since the main carrier and solar panels are decoupled by the drive transmission, and we control multiple tables with the same motor, our modular design allows us to drive more trackers.
