SOLAR TRACKER
Track the sun. Duck the storm.
BI-FACIAL · PNEUMATIC · STORM-RETRACTING · NO MOTORS
Generation that ducks the storm
Rises to track. Folds to survive.
The ANEW Solar Tracker holds two bi-facial, high-performance solar panels that rise out of a protective frame to track the sun through the day — then fold back down into the frame the moment high winds are detected. It is built for the places that need power and get hammered: hurricanes, typhoons and tornadoes.
It tracks the sun pneumatically — no motors to burn out or draw power. A solar reflector inside the frame bounces light onto the backs of the bi-facial panels, harvesting from both sides. The panels themselves are off-the-shelf, high-performance modules — proven glass, ANEW's protective frame.
And the array reports what it actually produced — to the customer's eScout portal and to the batteries it charges. That measured, hardware-anchored record is what makes the equipment financeable.

How It Works
Up for the sun. Down for the wind.
Rises & Tracks
The panels lift out of the frame and follow the sun across the sky, holding the best angle for the most energy — all day, automatically.
Pneumatic — No Motors
Air, not motors, raises and steers the array. Nothing to burn out, nothing drawing power to move — fewer parts, longer life.
Folds for the Storm
When high winds are detected, the panels drop back into the frame and shelter behind it — engineered for hurricane, typhoon and tornado country.
Measured · Signed · Financeable
An array that can prove what it made.
Solar gets financed on a projection. This tracker is built to be financed on a measurement — its own.
It reports to the eScout portal
The tracker communicates with the customer's eScout portal: what the array produced, how it tracked, when it folded for weather. The owner sees their own machine, not a monthly average from someone else's model.
It agrees with the batteries
The same reading is exchanged with the batteries it charges, so generation and storage corroborate each other instead of each keeping its own book. The Communications Platform signs the result at source — hardware-anchored and clone-resistant.
Someone else can rely on it
A performance record that is measured on the equipment and signed on the equipment is a record a lender, a green bank or a co-op can underwrite. That is how a verification method becomes a financing method.
Performance reporting and verification behaviour describe the current design intent for the Fall 2028 product. Nothing on this page is an offer of securities or a commitment of financing.
Where It Goes
Built for the roofs the weather finds first.
A tracker earns more than a fixed array — right up until the storm that ends it. This one is designed to still be there afterwards.
| Where it lands | What it replaces | Where it shines |
|---|---|---|
| Coastal & island rooftops★ Primary | A fixed-tilt array that gets stripped in the first named storm | Hurricane and typhoon corridors, where insurers price fixed solar as a write-off |
| Tornado-belt farms & sheds | Ground-mount racking with nothing to do but stand there | Open ground with no windbreak — the array folds before the wind arrives |
| Community micro-grids | Diesel top-up on short winter days | Tracking plus bi-facial gain stretches the same roof area further |
| Off-grid homes & clinics | An oversized fixed array bought to cover the worst hour | Paired with a Power Pack, tracked output flattens the day |
| Financed & leased installs | Yield estimated from a model and argued about later | The array reports its own production to eScout, so the record settles the argument |
| Mixed-source sites | A separate string box per array | Lands through the J-Box onto the same bus as wind, water and storage |
Suitability depends on site, structure and local certification. Panel electrical ratings follow the installed off-the-shelf modules.

In the Wild
On the roof, tracking the evening sun.
Power that weathers anything.
Available Fall 2028. Size your system on the ANEW tool, or talk to our team.
Tracking lengthens the generating day, storage covers the night, and the grid-tie covers the weather. Together they form a micro-grid that holds a flat 24/7 output instead of a daytime-only curve.
