The LightManufacturing H1 heliostat brings new performance and cost-efficiency to solar thermal and lighting applications.

The H1 employs a unique, patents-pending tensioned film mirror that offers many benefits compared to traditional glass or aluminum reflectors:

• better reflective performance• lighter weight• lower purchase and operating costs• easy field replacement• shatterproof and bird-safe

With available wireless network control, the H1 allows quick setup and target selection. The unit’s integral microprocessor requires only 12V DC power to track the sun accurately throughout the year. Multiple targets can be defined and stored, allowing the user to conveniently switch what they are heating / lighting.

Multiple H1s combine into powerful arrays to deliver unlimited heat / light for advanced applications.

Tracking accuracy is <.5 degree. Configuration and setup is simple, requiring only a vertical pole for mounting and basic local data such as true-South direction, date, time, latitude and longitude.

Solve your industrial or residential solar projects with ease - with the LightManufacturing H1 heliostat.
