Solar Tracking Systems: Types, Benefits, and Implementation
What is a Solar Tracking System? A solar tracking system (a sun tracker or sun tracking system) increases your solar system''s power production by relocating your panels to
Automated solar tracking systems have emerged as a compelling solution within the realm of renewable energy technologies, offering the potential to substantially enhance the efficiency of solar energy capture.
The main aim of any automatic STS is to maximize the amount of sunlight that the solar concentrator or module will receive, resulting in the maximization of the overall energy outputs of the system. Solar tracking can be performed in two ways: single-axis tracking and double-axis tracking.
An automatic solar tracking system (STS) is an emerging technology that rotates a solar panel or solar concentrator to various positions throughout the day by monitoring the current position and path of the sun.
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.
