This solar tracking controller is compatible with AC and DC engines, uses RS485 communications, CAN and has several analog...

RECOMMENDATIONS What kind of sun sensor do I need for my application? It depends on your requirements and expected costs. If the accuracy requirements are high, you will need the 5 FOV models (ISSD5, ISST5 or ISSA5), because a sun sensor has more accuracy with a narrow field of view. Furthermore all our sun sensors are very accurate, but environmental conditions affects their accuracy: clouds effect or seeing the ground introduce albedo effects. So, if you need high accuracy, choose a narrow field of view. On the other hand, if your accuracy requirements are less demanding you will need a...
