Use Cases
See how solar farm operators use the TrackLab portal to monitor, manage, and maintain their tracking installations.
From utility-scale monitoring to compliance reporting, TrackLab supports the full operational lifecycle of single-axis solar tracking systems across Southern Africa.
Utility-Scale Solar Farm Monitoring
Track every single-axis tracker across your solar farm in real time. TrackLab provides live visibility into motor status, battery health, and communication state for hundreds or thousands of TCU and NCU controllers from a single dashboard.
- Live tracker position and motor status across all devices
- Battery voltage monitoring with low-charge alerts
- Communication health indicators per NCU and TCU
- Fleet-wide overview with drill-down to individual controllers
Multi-Site Fleet Management
Manage multiple solar installations from a single portal with company-level views and cross-site analytics. TrackLab supports multi-farm, multi-section hierarchies so operations teams can oversee their entire fleet without switching between tools.
- Single portal for all solar farm installations
- Company-level dashboards with per-farm breakdown
- Cross-site comparison of performance metrics
- Role-based access control per company and farm
Remote Commissioning & Configuration
Configure TCU and NCU parameters remotely without dispatching field teams. TrackLab supports bulk parameter updates, NCU broadcast distribution, and over-the-air firmware deployment so new installations can be commissioned and tuned from anywhere.
- Remote parameter read and write for any controller
- Bulk parameter updates across device groups
- Over-the-air firmware deployment with version tracking
- NCU broadcast parameter distribution to connected TCUs
Predictive Maintenance & Alerting
Detect faults before they cause downtime with automated notifications and escalation workflows. TrackLab monitors device health continuously and triggers alerts for communication failures, motor faults, battery degradation, and weather-based stow events.
- Automated alerts for communication loss and device faults
- Weather-based stow commands triggered by wind thresholds
- Configurable escalation workflows for unresolved issues
- Custom notification channels including email, SMS, and webhooks
Compliance & Audit Reporting
Maintain a complete audit trail of every configuration change, user action, and system event. TrackLab provides exportable activity logs, data retention policies, and change tracking to support compliance requirements and operational reviews.
- Timestamped activity logs for every portal action
- Configurable data retention policies per company
- Exportable reports for audits and compliance reviews
- Full change history for parameters, firmware, and device config
