How the Single Axis Solar Trackers increase the return on your investment?

08 May , 2021

Single axis solar tracker orient the solar panels towards the sun to absorb maximum solar energy throughout the day. Our tracking system is designed to literally follow sun’s position at every minute, hour, and day, manual adjustment is not necessary.

In traditional fixed type plants, the power output follows a bell curve during the day, it gradually increases until peaking at noon, then begin to decrease. However, in single axis solar tracker plant, we get the maximum power from early morning and this output is maintained until late afternoon. Hence, the performance will be increased of approximately 25% as compared to the fixed PV installation.

Unlike traditional fixed type plant, single-axis tracking systems need more space per module for the rotation and to eliminate the possible shading. However, the newest innovation in this field is to optimize site design by adjusting the layout to accommodate bigger modules unique to its specific latitude and vertical tilt angle. The use of solar trackers is increasingly on the rise in PV solar plants because it allows a significant gain in energy yield; hence, improving project performance. Tracking systems cost more than the fixed mount PV Plants but the 25% gain in energy yield could significantly bring down the cost.
