RayAlign
Smart dual-axis solar tracking

More solar yield
from every roof you quote.

Dual-axis trackers for flat roofs, pitched roofs, open ground and existing arrays — and the photo-to-3D quoting software your team plans them with. Photograph a site, model the shading around it in 3D, and hand over a yield estimate on the first visit.

Dual-axis tracker, design target

Digital-twin simulation, Vienna: 1.44 kWp, four modules, south-facing, clear sky without shading — an upper bound. Real yield depends on weather, shading and soiling.

Why RayAlign

More energy. Same footprint.

We design and build dual-axis solar trackers that raise energy yield where space is limited. We do not install them: every system goes up through an installation partner, including the enquiries that reach us directly. Precision mechanics and IoT control lift output on rooftops, terraces and solar parks.

Make high-yield solar simple: faster ROI, clean installation, and real-time optimisation — so more people can run on sun, year-round.

Partner platform

Simulate the roof before you climb it.

Every partner gets the software we plan with ourselves. You place the building and the shading; the simulation does the rest — sun position, air mass, incidence angle, cell temperature, losses — and you leave the first visit with a yield figure instead of a promise to send one.

  1. 1

    Photograph the building

    One photo of the prospect's house or hall — taken while you are standing there, or sent over by the customer. That is the whole input.

  2. 2

    Upload it to the app

    The photo goes into the partner app from your phone, and the customer record is created around it.

  3. 3

    Set the site up in 3D

    The photo becomes a 3D model of the building. You search the real address, then set tilt, orientation and module count; the trees and neighbours you place by eye, sized against the house. Shading is an angular relationship, so what matters is getting them right relative to the roof.

  4. 4

    Run the year

    The simulation walks the sun's path for that address and integrates the yield tick by tick. Every mounting tilt and all four tracking modes are ranked side by side, ideal against realistic once the losses are switched on. The physics is exact; the building you placed is not, so the measured survey still happens before anything is ordered.

Every customer in one account

Sites, systems and contacts stay together. Reopen a quote from last season and the shading model that produced it is still attached to it.

Control and telemetry, not just charts

Installed trackers report over MQTT into the same account and take commands back the same way. A unit drifting out of alignment becomes your alert rather than your customer's phone call — and you can move it without driving there.

The customer opens it too

The site you built carries into your customer's own dashboard: opening their tracker shows their house in 3D, not a generic model. One model from the first photo through to the installed system, so the proposal and the plan cannot drift apart.

Partner accounts open with the pilot programme.

Digital twin

We simulated it before we built it.

Every figure on this page comes out of our own simulation — the same model we use to decide what to build next, and to plan an individual site before a single bracket is ordered.

left on the table above ±30°
+17%left on the table above ±30°

Unrestricted ±90° tracking is the physical ceiling for this site, not a product we sell — it is shown so the cost of capping tilt at ±30° is visible rather than implied. Clear-sky simulation without shading, so treat every row as an upper bound.

The winter multiplier comes from flat modules collapsing at low sun angles, not from the tracker behaving differently: tilting alone already more than doubles winter output. Against a properly tilted array our gain stays near 50% in every season — which is why the tracker earns its keep on terraces and flat roofs, where modules usually lie flat.

Product development

Every mechanical constraint is priced in energy before it is built. Capping tilt at ±30° costs 17% a year against unrestricted tracking — that number drives the next revision.

Project planning

Before anything is ordered the site gets modelled — location, orientation, tilt, module count and the shading around it — and returns the yield for that layout, not a catalogue average. The building outline is drawn by eye, so it approximates the site rather than measuring it.

Yield forecasting

A versioned Planner result can feed the return estimate below, so a site-specific case can replace the clearly labelled workbook demonstration.

How it works

From site check to smart tracking.

Four steps take your customer from enquiry to a producing, self-optimising tracker. Monitoring, alerts and over-the-air updates are included from day one.

< 3 hon site,
two people
  1. 1

    Site check & estimate

    You send the site details — size, shading, target kWp — or model them yourself in the partner app, and get an energy and ROI estimate back.

  2. 2

    Mount & connect

    Mount the tracker base, attach the panels, and connect power plus data over gateway, Wi-Fi or LAN.

  3. 3

    Calibrate & integrate

    Auto-calibration runs, location and timezone are set, the inverter and monitoring are linked, and OTA updates are switched on.

  4. 4

    Optimise in real time

    The controller aligns the array with the sun, adapts to weather and shading, and logs telemetry for performance review.

Step one is free, and it takes us a day.
