Horizon L:TEC® 1P: The gold standard

Unmatched Expertise in German design and engineering.

For the last 15 years IDEEMATEC has been driving the industry forward with our groundbreaking solar trackers. The peak of global tracker design is our Horizon L:TEC® 1P, built on our patented locked drive technology. Our L:TEC® 1P tracker offers stability and confidence that no other tracker can match. IDEEMATEC's locked drive technology is made incredibly stable by pairing our patented locking mechanism with our innovative decoupled drive technology.

By leveraging these two technologies, we've created a solution that answers the two most important questions: how much will it cost, and how long will it last? Our L:TEC® 1P trackers use the least total materials in construction and offer fast, easy installation and wind-tunnel-tested durability, all while maintaining the smallest possible carbon footprint.

L:TEC is based on two principles: a locking drive sprocket and a decoupled drive transmission.

Based on our patented locked independent drive system, the L:TEC 1P is, by design, the most cost-efficient and lightest – yet durable – tracker currently available.

Loads are transferred from sensitive panels to the tracker foundations by locking the tracker table in position, and the tracker can be returned to a previous position with more reliability. Separating the drivetrain from the supported panels drastically reduces mechanical loads on the tracker structure. Through exhaustive testing and real-world installations, we've proven through a storied track record that the L:TEC 1P has the industry's lowest failure rate. This is accomplished by ensuring that the drive system moving the tracker experiences only 2.3% of the actual mechanical load.

Safely stowing your tracker is the first line of defence against high-wind events and is unique to IDEEMATEC trackers. Through exhaustive wind tunnel testing and real-world applications, our trackers have proven that stowing trackers in the flat position reduces loading on the entire system by up to 50%, even in up to 75 meter-per-second winds for up to three seconds. A flat stow control strategy for high wind conditions ensures maximum power generation until the wind event has passed and normal operations resume.

With tracker strings of up to 260 meters long end-to-end used with flexible universal joints, terrain gradient changes of up to 36% are all in a day's work for L:TEC trackers. Each row is independently controlled, and with IDEEMATEC's perfected backtracking algorithm, each row will reliably generate peak power on gradients of up to 36% with no shading. Make that hillside your next power generation opportunity.

Two innovative pieces of smart software.

We ensure a project produces its peak power by using two innovative pieces of smart software. During project planning, our in-house developed, vertically integrated project planning software ID-Simulator automates certain portions of the design process, significantly reducing design time. Our groundbreaking software ID-Protector takes care of daily automated operations throughout the project's lifetime. ID-Protector takes data from weather sensors and location, altitude, and tracker position sensors to move the trackers automatically into the safest and most efficient position. Never wonder what's happening at your project – ID-Protector will keep you informed with automatic proactive alerts and warnings.
