Increase Your Solar Panel Output by Using a Solar Tracker

Solar Tracking System:




So do you want to know how a solar tracker can increase your solar system output?

I understand how a lot of people are using solar systems to power their homes. It saves a lot of money plus it is an environment friendly source of energy.

Well, I do use solar panels myself to generate electricity at my own home. And guess what?

I was able to increase the output of my solar system by using a solar tracker.

Get this- A tracker can increase your annual output by a minimum of 30%.

I want you to think about this- We all know that the position of the sun varies both with the seasons and time of the day as the sun moves across the sky, right?

Of course we all do, even a 10 years old knows that.

Solar tracker

A solar tracker is a device for orienting a day lightning reflector, solar panel or concentrating solar reflector or lens toward the sun.

Solar systems work best when pointed at or near the sun, so a tracker can increase the effectiveness of such systems over any fixed position.

Trackers may be a single axis or a dual axis. A single axis tracker increases the annual output by a minimum of 30%, and a dual axis tracker increases it by an additional 6%.

Trackers are perfect to use with solar panels, to ensure the maximum efficiency of your systems.

Some solar units are sold with trackers, these are usually expensive. However, you can find some inexpensive trackers that are sold alone.

Warning: If you want to save a great deal of money, you can build your own tracker, which is very easy to do.

Increase your solar panel output and use a solar tracker!
