Porphyri's newly developed photochemical reaction device changes the traditional passive, fixed mode of receiving light. By adopting a solar tracking system, it actively "follows" the sun, thereby maximizing solar energy collection.
The solar tracking system can use either single-axis or dual-axis tracking:
Single-axis systems rotate along a horizontal or vertical axis to follow the daily movement of the sun. They have the advantages of simple structure, easy implementation, and controllable cost, making them suitable for applications with low experimental requirements.
Dual-axis systems can rotate both horizontally and vertically. Compared to single-axis systems, they can more accurately track the position of the sun and are suitable for applications that require high precision.
Porphyri's self-developed solar tracking system has been widely applied to several new devices and has been awarded a national patent (a solar application platform based on dual-axis tracking). These devices provide strong research support to multiple production and research institutions such as Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Lhasa City Association for Science and Technology, and Northeast Electric Power University.
Utility Model Patent
"A Solar Application Platform Based on Dual-Axis Tracking" is a new patent awarded to Porphyri (Patent No. ZL 2023 2 1255372.X)
PLR WTCD-05O Photoelectrocatalytic Water Treatment Device is a custom-made device by Porphyri for Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The overall structure includes five main parts: solar tracking pan-tilt, photoelectrocatalytic reactor, solution circulation and delivery system, system framework, and monitoring control module.
This device is based on photoelectrocatalytic applications with the goal of photoelectrocatalytic water treatment, constructing an outdoor application demonstration-type photoelectrocatalytic water treatment equipment. The reactor has a liquid capacity of 5 L, a reaction area of 27×27 cm², and is equipped with a solar tracking system, enabling the monitoring and recording of reaction data in an outdoor environment.
In addition to being used in sunny conditions, this device can also be used in cloudy weather or when solar irradiance is weak, in combination with Porphyri PLS-ViSun30-LED water-cooled light source, providing a wider range of applications for photoelectrocatalytic water treatment.

Porphyri customized the PLR-DSTCS 3.0 Dish-Type Solar Heating Utilization System for the Lhasa City Association for Science and Technology, effectively solving the living difficulties caused by inconvenient transportation and underdeveloped infrastructure in western regions. This device is not only suitable for scientific research but also has achieved civilian use, truly meeting the hot water needs of local residents, demonstrating Porphyri's social responsibility and national mission as a tech company.
PLR-DSTCS 3.0 Dish-Type Solar Heating Utilization System consists of solar tracking system, constant temperature water tank, collector, and concentrator modules. This device can be used for photochemical research, providing a stable and efficient energy source for photocatalytic reactions with advanced solar tracking and heating technology.
In Dazi District, Lhasa City (elevation 3700 m), the system deployed by Porphyri can meet daily washing and drinking needs after a whole day's exposure. This collector typically consists of multiple reflectors, forming a dish shape that effectively captures and focuses sunlight. Compared to conventional tube/flat plate solar water heaters, this device can track the sun, significantly improving overall efficiency.

Porphyri customized the PLS-STAS-I Small Solar Dual-Axis Tracking Application System for Northeast Electric Power University, an application-oriented testing platform for solar energy utilization research.
Traditional photocatalytic research uses "lamps" as the light source for reactions, simulating sunlight through lamps. However, the PLS-STAS-I Small Solar Dual-Axis Tracking Application System can directly utilize sunlight to drive catalytic reactions in outdoor environments.
PLS STAS-I Small Solar Dual-Axis Tracking Application System Operation Interface
Market tracking equipment generally adopts the photoelectric tracking method, which has high precision. However, on cloudy days or when solar irradiance is weak, the photoelectric converter has difficulty responding to changes in optical fiber, which may cause the tracker to malfunction or even trigger accidents. Porphyri's self-developed solar tracking system adopts both the photoelectric tracking method (light control) and the solar movement trace (time control) dual tracking method, achieving more precise and safer solar tracking.
PLS-STAS-I Small Solar Dual-Axis Tracking Application System is based on the tracking platform and designed with an adjustable focusing system to achieve solar energy focusing and adjustment. Depending on the direction of solar energy utilization (light, heat, electricity), it realizes various solar energy utilization application scenarios.
Under optimal energy conditions, this system can reach the level equivalent to a 300W xenon lamp and can directly use solar energy for photocatalytic reactions.
