Development of photovoltaic tracking bracket

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.

Are automatic solar trackers suitable for PV arrays?

Therefore, study on automatic solar trackers for PV arrays has attracted wide attention from both academia and industry communities . In line with the system structure, automatic solar-tracking systems can be classified as uniaxial/single-axis tracking and dual-axis tracking.

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.

How are horizontal single-axis solar trackers distributed in photovoltaic plants?

This study presents a methodology for estimating the optimal distribution of horizontal single-axis solar trackers in photovoltaic plants. Specifically, the methodology starts with the design of the inter-row spacing to avoid shading between modules, and the determination of the operating periods for each time of the day.

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.

Can solar tracking algorithm be determined between P V modules?

As the current study uses mounting systems with horizontal single-axis tracker configuration, the shading study between P V modules is different, and the determination of the solar tracking algorithm was not the subject of the previous study.
