Solar Trackers


Solar tracking devices, mounted with photovoltaic (PV) panels, allow the panels to exactly track the sun's path across the sky and can increase the yield of solar energy installations by as much as 40 percent compared to stationary panels. Solar trackers have been around since about 1980, but their increasing use in both commercial-scale and residential solar energy projects is a direct result of proven, improved solar capture efficiencies.
