What is a Single-Axis Solar Tracker
A single-axis solar tracker is a mounting device capable of rotating solar panels to follow the sun along one axis, usually east to west. Explore the types of single-axis trackers,
The cost of single-axis solar trackers is a significant factor when considering their purchase. The cost varies widely depending on the size and type of the tracker and the manufacturer. The average price of a single-axis solar tracker is $2,000 to $5,000 or more per tracking system for a residential installation.
There are four main types of single axis solar trackers. These are Vertical Single-Axis Solar Trackers (VSAT), Vertical-Tilted Single-Axis Solar Trackers (VTSAT), Horizontal Tilted Single-Axis Solar Trackers (HTSAT), and Horizontal Single-Axis Solar Trackers (HSAT).
Single-axis trackers are 25-30% more efficient than fixed solar panels. It simply means that mounting single-axis solar tracking systems can increase the energy production by 25-30%.
For optimal performance, it is recommended that these tracking systems be installed on flat terrain in regions that are generally warm and dry. How Single-Axis Solar Tracking Systems Work?
