Currently, research into automatic solar trackers is on the rise, as solar energy is abundant in nature, but its use in a highly efficient way is still lacking. This paper provides a detailed literature review and highlights some key advancements and challenges associated with state-of-the-art automatic solar tracking systems.
Several real-world projects have successfully utilized solar tracking systems to maximize energy production. For instance, the Alamosa Solar Generating Project in Colorado, USA, utilizes dual-axis tracking systems and has achieved significant energy output.
A solar tracking system is a mechanical device that positions solar panels in such a way that they remain perpendicular to the sun throughout the day. Simply put, a solar tracker for solar panels tracks the sun’s movement throughout the day, maximizing energy capture and significantly improving the power generation efficiency of solar systems.
According to CEO Matthew Jaglowitz, the Exactus Energy solar design service will indicate the best possible options for solar tracking in the initial solar site survey report. The movement of solar trackers increases the solar energy output by up to 40% than standard panels.
