Do you know about tracking solar panels?
Have you ever seen a tracking solar panel? It is achieved through a set of solar automatic tracking devices. To achieve the highest utilization rate of solar panels, not only does the equipment itself need to meet the standards, but also many external environmental factors need to be considered, such as a suitable tilt angle and location. Due to different geographical locations, the direct sunlight angle and duration vary in each region, which requires us to use an automatic device to track sunlight automatically.
There are currently two main types of solar trackers, one is single axis and the other is dual axis. Single axis refers to rotating only at one point, tracking the sun from east to west, while dual axis refers to synchronous automatic rotation up, down, left, and right, directly tracking the sun by rotating on the x-axis and y-axis. This tracking method is generally designed based on the trajectory of the sun, and its trajectory varies depending on the season and region. There is also a method that uses heat collection tracking.
The principle of heat collection is also very simple, which is to use a device where the main axis of the heat collector is always parallel to the sunlight. Currently, the most commonly used types are solar vacuum tube heat collectors and solar flat plate heat collectors, both of which use fixed installation methods. However, they have a common disadvantage that the density of sunlight is very low in nature, which leads to a very low heat collection temperature. Generally, they can only provide hot water of 40 ℃ -70 ℃ and are not easy to obtain high temperatures.
In short, in today's rapidly developing solar power industry, it is still necessary to fully utilize the conditions and efficiently use solar panels.
