# Reliable Solar for Remote Asset Tracking

Solar power integrated into an off-grid asset tracking system to support continuous operation in harsh environments.

-   Asset Tracking

## Challenge

The asset tracking system required solar modules that could:

-   Withstand power washing, hail, and debris impact

-   Operate across wide temperature ranges

-   Integrate with onboard GPS, cellular, and sensor electronics

-   Deliver stable output at a defined operating voltage

-   Maintain low profile and minimal added weight

The system needed reliable energy input across varied weather conditions and transport environments.

## Approach

We engineered the enclosure, mounting system, and solar module to align with the device’s voltage and environmental requirements.

The final assembly integrates electronics, battery, and solar module into a sealed, low-profile housing mounted flush to the trailer roof.

## Solution

The integrated solar assembly delivers defined power output, structural durability, and environmental protection for long-duration field deployment.

Thousands of units are deployed across semi-trailers, cargo containers, and rail assets worldwide.

## Engineering Evaluation

Provide power and integration requirements for review.
