01. Tracker Systems
Smarter Tracking, Better Performance
At Polar Racking, we understand that intelligent software is just as important as robust hardware. That’s why our single axis trackers and multi-trackers come equipped with a suite of advanced tracking features designed to maximize energy yield, reduce risk, and adapt in real time to changing site conditions. Whether you’re facing unpredictable weather, uneven terrain, or tight permitting constraints, our control system gives you the precision and flexibility needed to build smarter and operate leaner.
- Boost annual energy yields through precise shading management
- Protect assets proactively from weather risks like hail and high winds
- Adapt intelligently to changing conditions for continuous, reliable operation
02. Feature
Advanced Tracking Algorithm
At the core of our system is a dynamic tracking engine that calculates the optimal tilt angle throughout the day to capture the most irradiance possible.
This algorithm doesn’t rely on generic assumptions—it incorporates real-time data, site-specific parameters, and seasonal adjustments to boost production without increasing structural load or wear.
- Automatically respond to weather conditions, including overcast skies
- Adjust for shading from adjacent rows or objects
- Compensate for terrain irregularities
03. Feature
Hail Protection Mode
Sudden hailstorms can cause devastating losses.
Our Hail Protection Mode responds instantly to weather alerts by moving modules to a safe angle, reducing the risk of panel damage. The system can be triggered manually or automatically, offering both peace of mind and asset security when conditions turn severe.
- Terrain irregularities
- Shading from adjacent rows or objects
- Weather conditions, including overcast skies
04. Feature
3D Backtracking
Unlike basic tracking systems, our 3D Backtracking feature accounts for slope, row spacing, and undulations in the terrain—virtually eliminating row-to-row shading during low-angle sun periods. This is especially critical for irregular sites and projects with limited grading budgets. The result? Higher output, fewer constraints, and more developable land.
- Automatic adjustment to multiple stow positions tailored for wind, hail, and maintenance needs
- Enhanced protection during adverse weather, improving asset longevity
- Smarter operations that reduce downtime without sacrificing energy production
05. Feature
Overcast
Strategy
behind clouds.
Our Overcast Strategy adjusts the tracking position during diffuse irradiance conditions to a flatter angle, increasing light capture when traditional algorithms would fall short. It’s an intelligent, adaptive mode that improves performance even on suboptimal days.
06. Feature
iStow™ – Intelligent Stow Positioning
Wind and snow events require a different operating posture. Our proprietary iStow™ technology automatically adjusts the tracker’s stow position based on real-time environmental data and site-specific tolerances. Unlike fixed stow strategies,
