6 FAQs about [Optical solar tracking system]

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.

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 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.

How to design a solar tracking system?

When designing solar tracking systems, it is necessary to take into account the distance between installations, since when the position of the Sun changes, the size of the trackers' shadow changes. This problem has several solutions. First: you need to install the trackers at a sufficient distance from each other.

What are the components of a solar tracking system?

A solar tracking system is composed of three well-differentiated components: the mechanism, the driving motors, and the tracking controller. The mechanism is the part of the tracking system responsible for providing the follower with precision in tracking.

What is active solar tracking system?

Active solar tracking system is the system that determines the position of the sun path in the sky during the day with the sensors. These sensors trigger the motor or actuator to move the drive system to the system towards the sun throughout the day.
