Sun Tracking Solar Panels in New England and Beyond

Sun Tracking Solar Panels

Solar panels are known for benefits including achieving energy independence, lowering your energy bills and carbon footprint, and ensuring access to renewable energy year-round. A sun tracking solar panel takes solar panel technology even further, allowing your panels to track the sun’s path through the sky throughout the day, tilt and adjust as necessary, and absorb maximum solar energy to optimize your investment. At ACE Solar, we are committed to offering our clients the latest and most advanced solar power solutions. Get in touch to schedule a consultation and learn more about how sun tracking solar panels can help you get the most out of your solar investment.

What Is a Solar Tracker System for Solar Panels?

A solar tracking system is the ideal system for solar developers. Solar trackers follow the sun’s movement throughout the day in order to increase solar energy production and improve the profitability of a solar farm. Single-axis trackers move along one axis, east to west, and can boost the production of large-scale solar projects by 25-35%. Solar Trackers move along axes to maximize solar capture during the day and increase energy production by 30-45%.

Types of Solar Tracking Systems

There are two main types of solar tracking systems for solar farms. The type you choose will depend on the size of your operation, your location, the placement of your panels, and your budget:

  • Low-standing One-way Solar Tracker System – A single-axis or one-way solar tracker system moves the solar panels along one axis, typically east to west, to follow the sun’s path through the sky. This type of system is typically aligned north-south and uses motors and sensors to rotate the panels to ensure they are always at the optimal angle facing the sun for maximum energy absorption. They are most commonly used in large-scale solar farms and utility-scale solar projects.
  • Pole-mounted Two-way Solar Tracker System – A two-way solar tracking system is pole-mounted and tilts on two axes, following the sun east to west and also north to south. This allows the solar panels to adjust more precisely to the changing angle of the sun throughout the year. This type of system is most commonly used on smaller commercial solar projects that have limited space; however, despite their more compact nature, the fact that they use two axes allows them to increase solar energy output by an additional 5-10% when compared to one-way tracking systems.

Benefits of Installing Sun Tracking Solar Panels

Solar tracking systems are designed to handle any climate or weather challenge. They are highly durable and weather-resistant and can function in almost any weather condition. They allow you to harness maximum solar power from the sun so that your solar farm is more profitable year-round. The biggest benefits of installing sun tracking solar panels are:

  • Increased energy yield resulting in increased profitability
  • Maximized energy production from a given area and reduce overhead or operating costs
  • Faster payback periods and improved return on investments
  • Greater adaptability to different weather conditions and seasons
  • Fewer panels needed to achieve the same level of energy generation

Features of Our Solar Tracker Systems

Our solar tracker systems are highly durable and weather-resistant and designed with features that maximize your solar energy gain in almost any weather or climate condition. Our solar tracker system features include:

  • Tracking – The system uses tracking technology to follow the sun’s pathway through the sky and generate maximum solar energy.
  • Enhanced Energy Production – The solar panels adjust continuously based on dynamic feedback from the GPS tracking system. This allows them to generate up to 45% more energy than traditional solar panels.
  • Weather Resilience – The panels are carefully designed with durable, quality materials to withstand harsh weather conditions.
  • Remote Monitoring – You can monitor and track the performance of your system and your energy production in real-time.
  • Sustainability – Solar tracking systems can maximize your renewable energy sources, reducing your carbon footprint and improving energy efficiency and sustainability.

Are There Disadvantages to a Sun Tracking Solar Panel System?

The only real disadvantage to a sun tracking solar panel system is the cost. Solar tracking systems cost more than traditional, stationary solar panels. However, they can maximize your solar energy gain and produce more solar energy each day than traditional solar panels. This means you can see a greater return on your investment each year if you switch to a solar tracking system.
