Solar Panels for Industrial Asset Tracking

Asset tracking provides data that helps businesses optimize asset allocation and delivery routes, increase utilization, improve overall productivity, and ultimately reduce the costs associated with lost, stolen, or misplaced assets.

Voltaic designs and manufactures solar panels for hardware companies serving the logistics and transportation industry. Our solar panels are deployed over 800,000 tractor trailers, shipping containers, and railcars.

How Voltaic Systems Can Help

Understand the solar energy available to your device in its unique environment

Select or design the appropriately sized panels for your system based on your power consumption

Advise on charging circuitry to help your device harvest solar energy as efficiently as possible, and help you test the system charging efficiency

Strategize how to mount panels securely on a bracket or to an enclosure

Select materials and construction techniques to meet the unique demands of your application

Power Related Challenges in Asset Tracking

Customer data sampling and transmission profiles vary widely so it can be difficult to come to a single number for expected power consumption
Signal transmission and energy cost can be affected by geographic location and network coverage
Replacing or repairing devices because a primary battery has fully discharged is costly and logistically challenging
Asset tracking systems must run continuously in an extremely wide range of operating conditions, and in some cases are subject to pressure washers, ice scrapers and chemical sprays
