Lightmanufacturing H1 Heliostat: High Performance Heliostat With Patents-Pending Tensioned-Film Mirror System

The LightManufacturing H1 heliostat uses a patented tensioned film mirror that offers better reflectivity, lighter weight, and lower costs than traditional mirrors. It has a microprocessor tracking system to follow the sun accurately with <0.5 degree precision. Multiple H1 units can be networked and controlled as a single array for industrial heating, lighting, or other solar applications. The H1's durable design and easy maintenance make it suitable for residential or commercial solar projects.

LightManufacturing H1 Heliostat

High performance heliostat with patents-pending tensioned-film mirror system


90%+ reflective tensioned film mirror
Robust tempered aluminum frame
IP66 stepper motors (rated 2M immersible)
Shatterproof reflector, field replaceable
Available with mirror area up to 2.3M2
Integral microprocessor tracking system
Available wireless networking control
Low cost per reflected watt on-target
Ideal for industrial heating and architectural /
day-lighting uses
Multiple units can be controlled as one array
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 units 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.
