STR-21G Sun Trackers

The STR-21G single arm sun tracker is the basis of the turn-key SMS for Global, Diffuse and Direct radiation measurements.


The compact single arm sun tracker is perfectly suited to support all kinds of Global, Diffuse and Direct Radiation measurement sensors. STR-21G is the base of the Solar Monitoring Systems (STR-21G-S), a turnkey measurement solution from EKO. The STR-21G provides a fully automated set up procedure through a GPS receiver providing increased reliability and enhanced functionality. 

From sunrise to sunset the compact sun-tracker guarantees accurate sun tracking and pointing of the attached solar sensors. The 2-axis tracker automatically adjusts to the sun’s position by the sun sensor closed-loop control system, even if the tracker is not oriented or leveled properly.

The sun-tracker comes standard with a small table tripod (larger tripod available). The 24 VDC low power consumption tracker can be powered by a solar-powered battery system or DC power supply. A wide range AC power adapter can be supplied to connect to the grid.

For over 20 years our clients who have deployed the STR sun-tracker, experience ease of set-up, operating and reliable tracking.
