Technical FAQs 3

What is a solar tracking system?

A solar tracking system is used to maximize direct radiation capture. It is commonly used with solar concentrators, which can focus solar energy using reflectors or lenses. A solar tracking system adds costs for the concentrators and steering system to the overall system.

Do solar trackers work with solar panels?

When solar trackers are coupled with solar panels, the panels can follow the path of the sun and produce more renewable energy for you to use. Solar trackers are usually paired with ground-mount solar systems, but recently, rooftop-mounted trackers have come onto the market.

How do solar trackers work?

If you have a ground-mounted solar array, trackers allow your panels to follow the sun so they absorb the most rays. These systems are most common in commercial solar farms, but there are smaller trackers that allow your panels to arc from east to west, following the sun from when it rises to when it sets.
