safeTrack Horizon
The most flexible and economic tracking solution

VERIFIED YIELD OPTIMIZATION

FLEXIBLE SOLAR FARM SIZES

PROFITABLE SYSTEM OPERATION

The most economic form of solar tracking

New-style drive system

System operation and maintenance

Photovoltaic trackers are the mounting systems you need for an evenly balanced solar power yield throughout the
entire day. While rigid systems will generally only offer peak power generation within a narrow time frame, tracking
systems by IdeemaTec precisely follow the suns path, maximizing power generation.

No interfering drive rods between the module rows

Flexible terrain adjustment on slopes with gradients of

No subsequent adjustment of mechanical parts and components throughout the

All central components of the

safeTrack Horizon have already
been installed thousands of
times since 2007.
The safeTrack Horizon
is therefore based on
experience and know-how
gained from around 40,000
systems installed worldwide.
Compared to fixed-mounted
systems, the horizontal
tracker enables a yield
increase of up to 25 %.

Online remote control of the function; tracker positioning via Internet and e-mail
Easy to clean: V-position and no connecting rods between the trackers allow
cleaning machines to drive through
Backtracking with trackers with drive rods
leads to module shading

Very low standard service costs due to the use of maintenance-free components such as
grease-free ball bearings, winches and ropes No need for additional staff for tracker
maintenance, in contrast to fixed-mounted systems

Optimized area use

Over an area of 10 hectares, 33 % more capacity can be
installed with safeTrack Horizon trackers.

we support you in each phase of planning, whether for standard project planning activities or for project-specific
engineering, where we analyze all conditions on site and monitor the progression of construction for the system
from the beginning. From shading analyses and the system design through to ram testing, foundation works and
installation and commissioning: Our services cover all requirements for large photovoltaic projects.
