Automatic solar panels

What is an active solar tracker?

STS, known as active solar trackers, employ motors and sensors and control electronics to rotate solar collectors or panels according to the position of the sun in the sky. Although more expensive and complex than passive solar trackers are, active solar trackers can offer greater accuracy and energy output.

What is a fully automated solar system?

Fully automated systems: Permanently installed, guiding and cleaning rows of panels without any human intervention. Both types utilize electric power and advanced sensors, promoting sustainability by eliminating the need for water. Their effectiveness can boost energy output by up to 30%, counteracting losses caused by dirty panels.

Why are automatic solar panels more efficient?

Automatic STS have become more efficient because of advancements in sensor technology, control algorithms, and precision mechanics. These systems can optimize the angle and orientation of solar panels to maximize sunlight exposure throughout the day, leading to increased energy production.

How does an automatic solar system work?

Automatic STS rely on accurate sun tracking, which can be affected by environmental factors such as clouds, haze, and shading from nearby structures or vegetation. These factors can impact the system’s ability to track the sun accurately and affect energy generation.
