Description: A heliostat sensor is a device designed to track the sun’s position throughout the day, thereby optimizing solar energy collection. This sensor uses advanced technologies to detect the direction and intensity of sunlight, allowing solar panels or solar concentration systems to automatically adjust to follow the sun. By maximizing exposure to sunlight, heliostats can significantly increase the efficiency of solar energy systems, resulting in higher electricity production. Heliostat sensors are key components in large-scale solar installations as well as in various applications where optimizing energy performance is crucial. These devices can be integrated into IoT systems, enabling remote monitoring and control, which facilitates efficient energy management and reduces operational costs. Additionally, their ability to adapt to changing weather conditions and the sun’s position throughout the year makes them an essential tool in the transition to more sustainable energy sources.
