Horizontal Single Axis Solar Tracker

Azimuth or north south a k a polar axis.

Horizontal single axis solar tracker. Single axis solar trackers offers lowest levelized cost of electricity lcoe with nearly 15 20 increase in power generation as compared to fix mounting structure with modest increase in upfront cost approximately 10 of setting up a solar pv power project. This type of solar tracker is most appropriate for low latitude regions. Fixed solar panel and horizontal single axis solar tracker system. The result of the comparison of output value with load is shown in the figure 15 to figure 117.

The axis of rotation for horizontal single axis tracker is horizontal with respect to the ground. The horizontal single axis tracker has evolved commercially since the eighties when 357 mw of solar thermal electric horizontal single axis tracker power plants were constructed in the mojave desert in the us state of california. Sf7 single axis tracker sf7 is the solar tracker with the highest yield per acre performance and greatest land use options ideal for large scale pv projects. It has a fixed angle slope which is optimally set to match the latitude and it rotates on a single pole type mount.

Ten years later horizontal single axis tracker commercialization got bigger for photovoltaic applications. Those features combined with proven cost effective installation and operation have driven soltec and sf7 to the top tier globally.
