6 FAQs about [Solar Tracking Device Reference]
What is solar tracking system?
Solar tracking system is a device that gives maximum energy efficiency by tracking the PV module the optimum orientation toward the sun. This can be done by using systems with 1-axis or 2-axis tracking. Many researchers have used the single or double axis sun tracking system for increasing the power generated from the PV model [64,65].
What are the applications of solar tracking system?
The main application of solar tracking system is to position solar photovoltaic (PV) panels towards the Sun. Most commonly they are used with mirrors to redirect sunlight on the panels. Cross-Reference: Design and Implementation of High Efficiency Tracking System
How to design a solar tracking system?
When designing solar tracking systems, it is necessary to take into account the distance between installations, since when the position of the Sun changes, the size of the trackers' shadow changes. This problem has several solutions. First: you need to install the trackers at a sufficient distance from each other.
What are the different types of solar tracking systems?
Taking into account the type of mechanism, solar tracking systems can be classified into one-axis trackers or two-axis trackers. Because solar tracking implies moving parts and control systems that tend to be expensive, single-axis tracking systems seem to be the best solution for small PV power plants.
How many types of solar tracker drive systems are there?
The solar tracker drive systems are classified into five types based on their tracking technologies, namely, active tracking, passive tracking, semi-passive tracking, manual tracking, and chronological tracking [1–90,92–96,98–100,108–112].
Are solar tracking systems a good alternative to photovoltaic panels?
In this context solar tracking system is the best alternative to increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel. Solar trackers move the payload towards the sun throughout the day. In this paper different types of tracking systems are reviewed and their pros and cons are discussed in detail.
