Single Axis Tracking Solar Panels

Sf7 single axis tracker sf7 is the solar tracker with the highest yield per acre performance and greatest land use options ideal for large scale pv projects.

Single axis tracking solar panels.

Those features combined with proven cost effective installation and operation have driven soltec and sf7 to the top tier globally. If you included a single axis tracking system on the same array it would drive the cost up to about 20 000. Horizontal single axis tracker with tilted modules htsat.

Solar trackers are typically used for ground mounted solar panels and large free standing. Panels are mounted upon the tube and the tube will rotate on its axis to track the apparent motion of the sun through the day. A dual axis tracking system would cost even more coming out to around 26 000. That s a premium of 57 over the cost of the fixed array for just 35 more solar output.

The axis of the tube is on a north south line. But dual axis trackers those that follow the sun more directly than single axis models east west path have their place in residential and commercial markets. A solar tracking system maximizes your solar system s electricity production by moving your panels to follow the sun throughout the day which optimizes the angle at which your panels receive solar radiation. The dominance of single axis trackers in the large utility scale solar market sometimes steals the limelight from its dual axis cousins.

Compared to a fixed tilt pv array single or dual axis tracking systems will increase the energy production by 15 30 for the same size array.
