Frequently Asked Questions

About the Solar Tracking application

Short answers to the most common questions our project team receives. Request engineering support for your custom project.

Which IP class is needed outdoors?
IP66 minimum for solar tracker applications; IP67+ models that have passed salt-spray testing are recommended for coastal/desert environments.
What is the operating temperature range?
The solar series delivers nominal performance from -30°C to +75°C; an optional kit extends this to -40°C.
How is wind load capacity calculated?
Maximum static load is validated at 1.5× the push/pull force; a project-based load report is provided.
Can cable length be customised?
Standard 2 m, 5 m and 10 m options plus project-specific custom lengths are available.
