Simple dual-axis tracking photovoltaic bracket

What is a dual axis solar tracking system?

In such a system, one of the axial movements, typically the horizontal axis, can be accomplished using a slew drive.The primary goal of a dual-axis solar tracking system is to ensure that the solar panels are oriented perpendicularly to the sun’s rays throughout the day.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of dual axis active solar tracking?

This technology benefits from increased solar radiation and solar energy harvesting capabilities. The main disadvantage of dual-axis active solar tracking systems is that the drive mechanism frequently uses up the output power of the solar panels. As a result, the net power gain of the solar panel is less than its maximum.

Can programmable logic control a dual axis solar tracking system?

Sungur focused on the design of programmable logic control for a dual-axis solar tracking system and experimentally verified that 42.6% more energy could be obtained from the system than from PV panels at fixed positions.

Is dual-axis solar tracking more productive than fixed-tilt solar tracking system?

The energy analysis is evaluated in terms of power with respect to the time in hours. The comparative energy analysis graph demonstrates that the dual-axis solar tracking system that was suggested was more productive than the fixed-tilt solar tracking system and matrix converter.

Is a solar tracking system suitable for large-sized photovoltaic applications?

With the fabrication cost and the consumed energy of the base taken into account, the designed solar tracking system is not applicable for large-sized photovoltaic applications. Instead, it should be suitable for small- and medium-sized applications, such as individual rooftop solar tracking systems.

Does a dual-axis PV tracking system produce more electricity than a fixed system?

In the case studied in this paper, the dual-axis PV tracking system produced more than 27% electric energy than the fixed systems did. In further research, the proposed open-loop control systems and conclusions from this paper will be tested on a larger dual-axis tracking system, Fig. 10. Fig. 10.
