Understand the Meaning and Types of
Solar Trackers
Despite the fact that solar is a zero-emission source, there are still doubts
regarding its utilisation due to its fluctuating nature. This has expanded the use
of solar tracking systems for boosting system efficiency and driving renewable
energy adoption. This post helps you in understanding the meaning of solar
tracking systems and the different types of them.
What is a solar tracker?
A solar tracker is a tracker device that allows an object to be positioned to
follow the movement of the sun throughout the day. This approach has
considerably boosted the use of renewable energy. The traditional solar panel
systems feature rigid configurations. They are positioned at pre-set angles
based on geography to maximise solar exposure. Modern systems that include
solar trackers allow the panels to move with the sun. They are constantly
perpendicular to the sun and receive maximum exposure throughout the day.
This drastically improves solar power efficiency and production, having a
tremendous influence on the solar energy market.
Types of solar tracker
There are two types of solar tracking systems as per the direction of the
movements:
Single-axis solar tracker
This tracker follows the sun's journey from East to West. They are ideally
suited for large-scale utility projects. The system's efficiency is boosted by 25-
35%.
Dual-axis solar tracker
Dual-axis trackers can follow the movement of the sun from East to West as
well as North to South. They are ideal for commercial and residential buildings
with limited space. When dual-axis trackers are included in the systems,
energy generation increases by 40%.
The best solar tracking systems in the market can help in the full utilisation of
solar energy.
