Technical FAQs 4

How do solar panels rotate?

The rotation is achieved through a mass-based positioning system that precisely controls the tilt angle between the tracking arm and the solar panel's normal plane. This approach ensures that the solar panels capture 99% of available solar energy regardless of the sun's position, even in locations with irregularly varying daylight patterns.

How does a dual axis solar tracking system work?

The dual-axis solar tracking system relies on several critical components working together to achieve precise sun-following capability. Let’s check out how these different components come together and work in harmony to ensure solar panels are perpendicular to the sun from sunrise to sunset: Central control unit: This is the system’s brain.

How do dual axis solar panels work?

Dual axis solar panels are actively controlled using electric motors or hydraulic rams. As the sun moves, so too does the solar panel. As the relative position of the sun to the solar panel changes only slowly, it is not necessary to constantly move the solar panel.

How does a solar array tracking system work?

The system incorporates dual locking hinges that can act as axis of rotation for tilting the solar panel assembly, providing a stable and precise mounting solution for solar panels. Solar array tracking system for supporting solar energy harvesting elements or solar collector elements.
