Solar tracking systems which can track the Sun movement can increase the power generation rate by maximizing the surface area of the solar panels that are exposed to the sunlight. By utilizing a solar tracker, the number of solar panels needed to generate the same amount of electrical energy will be significantly lower.
In essence, this automated solar tracking system stands as a pioneering solution that unlocks the full potential of solar resources. Its ability to adapt and optimize energy capture renders it an indispensable tool in the realm of sustainable energy generation, ushering in a greener and more efficient era of power production.
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.
As a result, there remains ample room for advancements in efficiency to fully harness the potential of solar energy for widespread use and adoption. The enhancement of PV power generation can be achieved through the utilization of tracking technology.
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.
Power generation rate might be increased by maximising the surface area of the solar panels exposed to sunlight, according to Mohamad et al. , if solar tracking devices could follow the movement of the sun. A solar tracker can drastically reduce the amount of solar panels required to produce the same amount of electricity. ... ...
