Shop Active and Passive Solar Tracking Systems Online

Active and passive solar tracking systems are engineered to optimize the orientation of solar panels, ensuring maximum exposure to sunlight throughout the day. This collection at The Solar Store features robust designs, including single and dual-axis trackers, that accommodate a range of array sizes and mounting requirements. For those integrating with larger installations, the Mounts & Trackers category offers additional mounting solutions compatible with various tracker models.

Technical features such as gear-driven azimuth rotation, heavy-duty ball bearing assemblies, and programmable tracking algorithms distinguish these solar tracker system options.

Some models, like the Wattsun AZ-225, support up to 225 square feet of modules and provide nearly 270 degrees of rotational movement, while the SunTracer OG+ incorporates astronomic tracking and PC-based monitoring for precise control. For users seeking to pair their tracking panels with high-efficiency modules, the PV Solar Panels collection provides compatible panel options.

Looking to increase energy yield without increasing array size? These solar tracking panels offer advantages such as reduced ground clearance requirements, anti-shadowing software, and wind resistance up to 130 km/h. With options for both residential and commercial applications, the collection is designed for long service life and adaptability to diverse site conditions.

FAQ

What is the difference between single-axis and dual-axis solar tracking systems?

Single-axis trackers rotate panels along one axis (typically east-west), while dual-axis trackers adjust both azimuth and elevation, allowing for more precise sun tracking and higher energy yield.

How much wind can these solar tracking panels withstand?

Models like the SunTracer OG+ are rated for wind resistance up to 130 km/h, and Wattsun trackers feature robust gear drives and mounting options for stability in high-wind environments.

What power supply is required for these solar tracker systems?

Wattsun trackers typically require a 24VDC supply, with voltage converters available for 12V, 36V, or 48V systems. The SunTracer OG+ operates on 12VDC and can be powered by a small battery or directly from a compatible solar panel.

How is tracking accuracy maintained in these systems?

Trackers such as the SunTracer OG+ use astronomic algorithms and servo positioners, achieving tracking accuracy of less than 0.5°, with real-time monitoring and PC-based adjustments available.

Can these trackers be integrated with different solar panel types?

Yes, the mounting systems are compatible with a range of panel sizes and brands. Maximum supported area and weight vary by model, so always check the product specifications for compatibility.

What maintenance is required for solar tracking systems?

Routine checks include verifying motor operation, inspecting gear drives, and replacing backup batteries as needed (typically every 3–5 years). Some models offer manual override for snow removal or extreme weather positioning.
