You''re familiar with PV panels, but do you know about solar trackers? Though less known, they play a vital role in solar energy. They ensure that the panel consistently faces the sun, optimizing sunlight exposure. In this blog, let''s explore the working, types, applications, and costs of solar tracking systems. Solar Tracking System
Due to the implementation of the "double carbon" strategy, renewable energy has received widespread attention and rapid development. As an important part of renewable energy, solar energy has been widely used worldwide due to its large quantity, non-pollution and wide distribution [1, 2].The utilization of solar energy mainly focuses on photovoltaic (PV)
Solar tracking systems (TS) improve the efficiency of photovoltaic modules by dynamically adjusting their orientation to follow the path of the sun. The target of this paper is, therefore, to give an extensive review of the technical and economic aspects of the solar TS, covering the design aspects, difficulties, and prospects.
most amount of solar radiation available, solar tracking systems are used. The basic idea is to follow the sun''s movement throughout the day and keep the PV panel normal to the direct beam of the solar radiation to maximize power generation. Tracking systems based on their movements are classified into single axis and dual axis trackers [6

Upgrading solar devices with a solar-tracking system that adjusts to the changing positions of the sun throughout the day helps in enhancing the energy yield. Larger solar modules with larger cells are also gaining traction in the market.
The use of solar energy can be encouraged in several ways, such as monitoring or subsidies, as well as through solar systems that follow the sun''s path—called tracking solar systems. The main goal of tracking systems is to increase the energy yield, which according to previously conducted research and studies ranges between 22% and 56%
Solar tracking systems (TS) improve the efficiency of photovoltaic modules by dynamically adjusting their orientation to follow the path of the sun. The target of this paper is, therefore, to give an extensive review of the technical and economic aspects of the solar TS, covering the design aspects, difficulties, and prospects.
Trackers that are automatic as well as motorized have also been introduced in the progress of solar PV TS. A new generation of tracking systems appeared in the 1980 s, with the improvement of the sensor equipment in combination with electronics that can automatically turn the placed PV-modules to the right angle.
The photovoltaic tracking systems that follow the trajectories of the sun’s rays ensure that the power density of the solar radiation is perpendicular to the normal of the module surface. The tracking is achieved by proper control and use of the tracking system drive assembly.
Early tracking systems The early solar TSs were simple and mostly mechanical. These systems were intended to track the movement of the sun across the sky in order to increase the amounts of Solar energy harnessed by PV modules.
