Precision Tracking for Solar Energy Efficiency

Solar energy production requires precise tracking of photovoltaic panels and solar concentrators. Integrated into solar tracking systems, RLS encoders provide accurate position feedback for azimuth and elevation axes, ensuring panels and concentrators remain optimally aligned with the sun throughout the day.

With a variety of resolution options, and a proven track record, RLS encoders offer reliable performance in harsh outdoor environments. This increases energy yield, reduces system maintenance, and supports long-term operational stability—making them an ideal choice for solar farms and renewable energy applications worldwide.
