Solar Tracking Motorization

Intelligent automation is the key to realizing significant energy savings, the key to a healthy workplace, and the key to the smart shading system paying for itself in the near future.  We start with distributed intelligence by way of a networked system of addressable motors and keypads, then we add input from a customized sensor bus, and finally we connect both to a scalable hub that contains the algorithms required to maximize comfort and energy efficiency.

In the pursuit of comfort, human interactions with the window treatments, HVAC, and lighting settings can cause waste and result in reduced productivity over time.  Skyco's Solar Tracking solutions offer the latest technology to nearly eliminate the need for human interaction, while still allowing occupants the ability to override the system when necessary. 

Dynamically Manage Daylight, Comfort, and Energy

Our system will dynamically control the motorized window treatments based on the Sun's position in the sky and the orientation of the building.  Solar Entrance Depth Management is achieved using customizable sensor arrays and an intelligent motor system monitored through bi-directional communication.

Skyco Solar Tracking Advantages:

  • Provides the technology to manage natural light, glare, and solar heat gain.
  • Provides automatic control of natural light with sun tracking based on the Lat/Long coordinates of project and facade direction.
  • Provides programmable wall mounted Intelligent Keypads for shade control.
  • Allows for remote Virtual Keypads to be deployed on computers and smart phones over the building LAN.
  • Provides bi-directional status reporting of shade position and for the alignment of shade positions.
  • Provides for auto discovery of motors and switches to expedite the commissioning process.
  • Drag and drop programming of motors facilitates grouping and zoning of solar protection.
  • Uses non-proprietary wiring that is installer, facility manager, and electrician friendly.
  • Employs Distributed Intelligence to eliminate the need for costly wiring home-runs and conduit runs.
  • No costly and cumbersome power panels are required for motor power.
  • Integrates easily with Building Management Systems, AV Systems, and also Lighting Controls and Fire Alarms.
  • Logs all sensor input, button presses, and usage data to empower facilities managers to tune performance.
