Photovoltaic tracking bracket classification

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.

How does a photovoltaic tracking system work?

This designed tracking system was experimentally tested using two photovoltaics. The photovoltaics are driven by a PIC microcontroller based on a tracking algorithm for economic and maximum power harvesting. The photovoltaics are arranged in the form of a triangle located opposite of each other.

How efficient is a solar tracker compared to a fixed photovoltaic system?

According to research, the efficiency of such solar trackers ranges from 27.85 % to 43.6 % compared to a fixed photovoltaic system, and the solar tracking accuracy reaches from 0.11° to 1.5°. Controllers and electrical drives include Arduino, Atmega, dSpace, as well as DC motors, stepper motors and servo motors, respectively.
