OUR ENGINEERING APPROACH
We Design the Solar Panel Around Your Tracking Device
GPS and tracking solar design should start with the device’s actual energy demand, battery capacity, standby cycle, transmission frequency and available installation space.
Our engineering team reviews these factors together before determining the appropriate panel voltage, power, dimensions, material and mounting method.
Device Energy Demand
Review operating voltage, standby consumption, positioning power, transmission demand and total daily energy requirements.
Battery & Duty Cycle
Evaluate battery voltage, capacity, charging limits and the required operating time between charging periods.
Transmission Pattern
Review how often the device wakes, acquires location data and transmits through GPS, 4G, LTE, LoRa or satellite communication.
04
Installation Space
Confirm available panel area, enclosure dimensions, mounting position, orientation and mechanical limitations.
05
Solar Panel Design
Determine the appropriate panel voltage, power output, dimensions, material and mounting method for reliable long-term tracking operation.

MATERIAL SELECTION
Choose the Right Solar Panel Material for GPS & Tracking Devices
| Material | Best For | Key Benefits | Things to Consider | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ETFE Recommended | Lightweight GPS trackers and compact battery-powered tracking devices | Lightweight, UV resistant, weather resistant, custom sizes and shapes | Higher material cost than basic PET or epoxy solutions | Asset trackers, livestock trackers, telemetry devices |
| Glass | Long-term fixed tracking and monitoring installations | Excellent durability, stable outdoor performance, rigid structure | Heavier and thicker than ETFE or flexible solutions | Fixed tracking stations, outdoor monitoring units, long-term telemetry systems |
| Flexible | Curved, narrow or irregular tracker surfaces | Lightweight, adaptable to curved surfaces, low-profile integration | Mounting method and bending radius require evaluation | Vehicle-mounted trackers, curved housings, compact tracking devices |
| Epoxy / PET | Protected or cost-sensitive tracking products | Low cost, compact structure, good appearance | Limited long-term UV and outdoor durability compared with ETFE or glass | Indoor trackers, protected electronics, prototypes |
