In the dynamic landscape of solar energy, constant innovation drives significant improvements in the efficiency and reliability of solar tracking systems. Among the latest advancements, the introduction of the DBOX5 marks a milestone, offering a suite of advanced features designed to maximize performance and safety in solar trackers.

Direct Motor Control and Enhanced Solar Tracking

At the heart of its innovation, the DBOX5 distinguishes itself with direct motor control capabilities, optimizing solar tracking by continuously monitoring its tilt position. This not only enhances the precision of solar tracking but also ensures operational safety of the system.

Robust Design and Efficiency

Equipped with an IP67-rated housing, the DBOX5 provides robust protection against dust and water, safeguarding its electronic components even in harsh environmental conditions. Its enhanced electronics not only consume less energy but also extend operational capacity, thereby improving the overall system efficiency.

Advanced Features and Adaptive Design

Among its new capabilities, the DBOX5 includes precise humidity measurement and enhanced device connectivity, adapting to diverse application needs. Its flexible internal design not only facilitates competitive global delivery times but also reduces installation and startup costs, optimizing profitability for users.

Secure Communication and Remote Monitoring with LoRaWAN

Using LoRaWAN technology, the DBox 5 securely communicates wirelessly with the TBOX, allowing for the management of a significantly higher number of trackers per unit. This ensures efficient long-range data transmission. The primary advantage of LoRaWAN is its extended range, which enables simultaneous communication with all trackers. This feature is crucial for preventing delays; when the TBOX sends a signal, it reaches all trackers at the same time. This synchronization is particularly beneficial for backtracking, as it eliminates control delays. Additionally, in the event of wind alarms, all trackers can respond simultaneously, ensuring prompt and coordinated action.

User Interface and Control Systems for Solar Energy

PVH has taken a leap forward with a comprehensive range of products and services, offering everything from the widely-used ProInsights SCADA to the groundbreaking ProInsights Cloud. This cloud-based tool is specifically designed to reduce onsite costs, streamline maintenance, and enhance overall operational efficiency.

ProInsights SCADA serves as PVH’s localized solution for monitoring and controlling your solar plant. Operating behind the plant’s dependable firewall, it ensures that your data remains secure within the local network. The ProInsights SCADA cabinet is strategically installed in a building on the solar plant’s premises, providing robust performance and reliability.

On the other hand, ProInsights CLOUD is PVH’s revolutionary web-based monitoring tool. Since its launch in June 2022, it has been fully compatible with the PVH control system. All you need is a stable internet connection to access it through your browser of choice, along with your username, password, and a two-factor authentication code for maximum security.

This advanced system enables precise monitoring and control of solar trackers via both SCADA and the PVH application, which is even accessible through NFC connections, allowing for agile and secure management.

Power Flexibility and Operational Safety

The DBOX5 offers unparalleled flexibility in power options. It can self-power using LiFePO4 or LTO batteries (ideal for cold environments) while also utilizing photovoltaic panels for continuous charging. Its parameter storage system guarantees automatic recovery of settings during power interruptions, ensuring seamless operational continuity.

The real challenge in the design was to combine durability, resilience, advanced communications, agility, and sustainability into a single product. This innovation has led us to be recognized with several prestigious industrial design awards.

Award-Winning Innovation

In less than a year, the DBOX5 has received the most prestigious industrial design awards, including the Global Red Dot Award, the IF Award,the European Design Award, and the ADI-FAD. This recognition underscores the DBOX5’s groundbreaking impact on the solar energy industry, highlighting its role as a game-changer in the world of solar tracking systems.
