Significant improvement on the accuracy of ST was noticed since 1985, after the work by Badescu in which he demonstrated the influence of the astronomical and constructive parameters on the concentration of solar radiation on the tracking surfaces of PV systems.
Recent developments in solar tracker systems include exploring different module geometries, materials, and tracking mechanisms to boost efficiency. Single-axis and dual-axis tracking systems are widely used, with dual-axis systems offering greater efficiency and accuracy.
Conclusion and future outlook Solar trackers are compact solar energy collecting systems that are used to increase the amount of collectible solar energy of the PV systems by tracking the position of the sun across the sky at all times.
These efforts emphasize the significance of enhancing solar panel efficiency and energy production with sophisticated tracking and control systems. Recent developments in solar tracker systems include exploring different module geometries, materials, and tracking mechanisms to boost efficiency.
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.
Then, in 2001, BP Solar granted ATI its first utility-scale project, to install a 250 kW solar tracker system. This contract itself led to further innovation of the ATI solar tracker. “When we moved into the utility-scale market, we moved from a dual-axis tracker to a horizontal axis tracker,” Corio said.
