With Horizon L:TEC®, IDEEMATEC offers the market’s most advanced zero loss bifacial, two-in-portrait tracker solution. Horizon L:TEC® pairs our signature decoupled drive technology with our new innovative locking system that can secure standard, bifacial and XXL modules in position against extreme winds. At 30% fewer parts than the average system, L:TEC® simplifies the installation process, expands project lifespan, and delivers maintenance costs savings.
Our system provides highest additional gains, optimizes overall yields and improves lifetime performance of a solar system. Its patented locking function transforms the tracking movement into the safe characteristics of a fixed tilt system at each individual tracking position. In established IDEEMATEC fashion, this sophisticated invention continues to realize its stow position at a zero-degree angle.
TECHNOLOGICAL BENEFITS
MATERIAL SAVING
The reduction in foundations and drives cuts BOS costs.
SCALABLE DESIGN
With no driving rods between rows, the rows can be planned on uneven terrain.
VERSATILE APPLICATION
2 rows in portrait, bifacial modules, 4 and 7 rows in landscape, 1000 V/1500 V.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION
Maximum stability with the minimum amount of materials built to simplify installation.
PERMANENT LOCKED WING TECHNOLOGY
The core component of the Horizon L:TEC® is the patented locking technology, offering maximum stability for utility-scale solar installations. The tracker is designed to secure XXL modules and withstand the highest wind loads, protecting solar installations against extreme winds. By pairing the locking mechanism with our signature decouple drive technology, the weight of the system on the drive unit places weight directly into the foundations. This results in a stronger system that is built to last for the long term.
THE MONITORING SYSTEM
The control and monitoring system with multiple redundancies is the perfect tool for streamlined and user-friendly plant management. IDEEMATEC’s proprietary Aurora™ software controls all drive units by means of an ultra-precise astronomical algorithm.
