6 FAQs about [Solar Thermal Tracking System Project]

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 is a solar tracker?

The most studied tracker is an azimuth-altitude dual-axis solar tracking system. This type of solar tracker can capture more sunlight during the day, which results in higher energy output. Such a tracker can automatically adapt to seasonal changes in the tilt of the Sun, which is a great advantage compared to other types.

How a solar tracker can improve the efficiency of a photovoltaic panel?

But the continuous change in the relative angle of the sun with reference to the earth reduces the watts delivered by solar panel. In this context solar tracking system is the best alternative to increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel. Solar trackers move the payload towards the sun throughout the day.

What is a solar tracker control system based on optical sensors?

In modern control systems for solar trackers based on the use of optical sensors, they occupy an important role. The use of optical cameras makes it possible to develop solar tracking systems that provide high accuracy and energy efficiency , , , , , , , .

Does solar tracking improve electricity generation?

In some countries, the use of solar tracking systems can improve electricity generation by around 30% to 80% compared with fixed solar systems [17, 19]. On the contrary, there are very few studies focused solely on sun-tracking systems in equatorial regions .

Are solar tracking systems a good alternative to photovoltaic panels?

In this context solar tracking system is the best alternative to increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel. Solar trackers move the payload towards the sun throughout the day. In this paper different types of tracking systems are reviewed and their pros and cons are discussed in detail.
