What is a solar tracker?

Ground mounted solar installations can use solar trackers to tilt the angle of solar panels throughout the day, maximising generation. They are typically used in large scale commercial or utility projects - not residential - as they come with added setup and maintenance costs, due to the additional moving equipment.

Are solar trackers better than fixed mounts?

On the other hand, tracking mounts enhance energy production by adjusting panel angles, albeit with higher costs and more complex installation requirements. Compared to fixed mounts, tracking mounts can generate over 30 percent more solar power. Solar trackers generally fall into two types: single-axis trackers and dual-axis solar trackers.

How do solar tracking mounts work?

Solar tracking mounts employ motors and sensors to continuously adjust the position and angle of solar panels. By tracking the sun’s movement and optimizing the tilt angle, the panels can receive optimal sunlight exposure, resulting in increased energy production compared to fixed mounts.

What is a clenergy solar tracker?

The Clenergy portfolio consists of trackers with distributed actuation architecture, independently controlled, higher ground clearance versions, specialised versions for bifacial panels and so much more, delivering greater flexibility to your next solar farm. 1- How does a solar tracking system work?

Where can solar tracking mounts be used?

Solar tracking mounts are particularly advantageous in regions with significant variations in solar elevation and azimuth angles throughout the year. Areas with abundant direct sunlight and pronounced seasonal changes, such as deserts or locations closer to the equator, can benefit greatly from solar tracking mounts.

How do solar tracking systems work?

Solar tracking systems work by aligning your photovoltaic panels to the direct angle, which harnesses better energy production.
