Types of Solar Tracking System: A Comprehensive Guide to Optimal Energy Harvesting - Solar Panel Installation, Mounting, Settings, and Repair. Solar tracking systems primarily come in two types: single-axis and dual-axis. Single-axis trackers move along one axis, typically following the sun’s east-west path across the sky.
The most common tracking systems work by positioning your panels directly in line (perpendicular) with the sun’s rays. The result? More sunlight, reduced reflection and more energy. Moreover, I would recommend that you use a solar monitoring system to ensure that your panels are always in the best position.
However, it is not recommended to use tracking system for small solar panels because of high energy losses in the driving systems. It is found that the power consumption by tracking device is 2–3% of the increased energy. In this paper different types of sun-tracking systems are reviewed and their cons and pros are discussed.
Without a tracking system, your panels stay in one constant position, making them unsuitable for capturing maximum energy. Unlike fixed panels, trackers move across the sky by constantly adjusting the angle of your panels. From Sunrise -> Sunset, the trackers help your panels adjust the perfect angle and boost the energy output.
These efforts emphasize the significance of enhancing solar panel efficiency and energy production with sophisticated tracking and control systems. Recent developments in solar tracker systems include exploring different module geometries, materials, and tracking mechanisms to boost efficiency.
Solar tracker devices are suitable for installations with limited space and high energy requirements. Because of the sun’s yearly movements, these tracking systems are most beneficial for installations in high-latitude areas. Solar tracking systems are also frequently used in large commercial projects.
