6 FAQs about [Solar sun tracking system development]

What is a solar tracking system?

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.

How does a sun tracking system work?

Sun tracking system generally consists of mechanical devices that adjusts PV modules towards the sun, compensating for changes in both the altitude angle of the Sun [during the day] and the latitudinal offset of the sun [during seasonal changes] and changes in the azimuth angle (Clifford and Eastwood, 2004).

Do solar tracking systems improve the efficiency of photovoltaic modules?

Why do solar trackers need sun-position sensors?

On the other hand, active solar trackers need sun-position sensors in order to keep the angles of the solar panels in equal directions of the sun rays. This goes a long way to boost the precision in tracking the performance of the solar system.

What is a solar PV tracking system?

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.
