Prospects of photovoltaic tracking brackets

Do solar tracking systems improve the efficiency of photovoltaic modules?

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.

What are the future trends of solar photovoltaic tracking technology?

Future trends include higher precision, broader applications, and lower costs. Solar photovoltaic tracking technology will play a pivotal role in global energy production, fostering the realization of a clean and sustainable energy future.

How do solar tracking systems compare?

Consequently, the main metrics available in the literature for the comparison of solar tracking systems relate to aspects such as annual energy gain, which can be evaluated in terms of the power output ratio, local latitude, and solar radiation , .

Does a solar tracker generate more energy than a fixed PV system?

Developed and analysed the performance of a solar tracker system, comparing it with a fixed PV system (Sidek., 2014). Results indicate significantly higher energy generation with the solar tracker, especially under clear weather conditions.

Can a photovoltaic tracking system reduce investment payback?

Compared to fixed systems, this tracking system can reduce the investment payback period of individual photovoltaic panels by 8%. Consideration has been given not only to cost-effectiveness and shortened investment payback but also to the impact of weather changes on the tracking system.

Does a five-position angle solar tracking system require less energy?

Study analyses STS using a five-position angle approach in both single-axis and dual-axis configurations, comparing them to a fixed solar panel setup (Nuttee et al., 2023). The results indicate that the five-position angle tracking method requires less energy for the tracking mechanism than a continuous solar tracking system.
