What are solar tracking mounts?

Solar tracking mounts are advanced systems that automatically adjust the position of the solar panels to follow the sun’s movement. This maximizes the solar gain and significantly increases the energy output of the solar panels. 4. Types of Mounting Components (Hardware)

Do bifacial solar trackers improve plant productivity?

Installation of 1P solar tracker by STI Norland. Bifacial modules make it possible to capture solar radiation both on the front and rear sides, thus enhancing plant productivity. A reasonable average value of bifacial gain in a horizontal solar tracker is around +7% compared to monofacial modules.

Why should you install a solar panel bracket?

The purpose of installing the bracket is to better fix the solar panel. If there is a more convenient and feasible method to fix the solar panel. PVMars will definitely recommend it to you, and effective solutions are based on solar panels’ characteristics and your on-site installation environment.

What are mounting brackets & rails for solar panels?

Mounting Brackets are the primary components that attach the solar panels to the mounting surface. They come in various types depending on the mounting surface (roof, ground, pole, etc.). Rails: Rails are long, horizontal structures attached to the solar panels using clamps. They provide a stable base for the solar panels.

What is a movement solar tracker?

In movement solar trackers, the solar photovoltaic modules can be controlled to follow the position of the sun for the entire year and the entire day. The fixed tracking system is cheaper and simpler than the movement tracker; however, it is also less efficient and gains less power.

Why is the cost/performance of solar trackers not fixed?

Moreover, the cost/performance of the solar tracking systems is not fixed for all types of trackers because numerous variables, such as the weather, the position of the sun in the sky, the country, and the type of solar tracker system itself, must be considered.
